The bottom line is that pickle should never be used in a security sensitive context. Several years ago I spent about 5 minutes writing a custom pickle fuzzer. It ran for about 60 seconds before segfaulting. Fortunately, the last time I ran my fuzzer (about a year ago), all I could produce was a MemoryError traceback. Even with all the improvements pickle has seen, I think it would be unwise to imply (via pickle module names or flags) that pickle is "safe". --Edwin On 7/11/2020 1:31 PM, Wes Turner wrote:
Would this accomplish something like:
pickle.load(safe=True) # or pickle.safe_loads()
Is there already a way to load data and not code *with pickle*? https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html

This makes it impossible to distinguish globals that will be used as data from globals that will be called as constructors, along with similar concerns with object attributes [especially methods] obtained by loading builtins.getattr as global.
I would suggest also exposing for overrides the points where a callable loaded from the pickle is called - on the pure-python _Unpickler these are _instantiate, load_newobj, load_newobj_ex, and load_reduce, though it might be worthwhile to make a single method that can be overridden and use it at the points where each of these call a loaded object. _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org mailto:python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-leave@python.org mailto:python-ideas-leave@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/BB2TLA...
