TL;DR

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to remote code execution due to the lack of safeguards against unpickling malicious files. Specifically, the package allows arbitrary code execution when processing untrusted pickle data, exposing systems to severe security risks. The issue is resolved in the patched version by introducing an allow_pickle flag (disabled by default) which prevents unsafe deserialization and limits unpickling to trusted sources.

Who does this affect?

You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.

Background info

skops is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE) in versions 0.1.0 - 0.12.0.
