CVE-2019-6446 (GCVE-0-2019-6446)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-01-16 05:00 – Updated: 2025-07-21 22:10 Disputed
VLAI
Summary
An issue was discovered in NumPy before 1.16.3. It uses the pickle Python module unsafely, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized object, as demonstrated by a numpy.load call. NOTE: third parties dispute this issue because it is a behavior that might have legitimate applications in (for example) loading serialized Python object arrays from trusted and authenticated sources.
