Have you read the warning in the first paragraph of the pickle docs?
Pickles are a major security risk unless both hosts are trustworthy and
are either inside a protected network or are connected over a secure line.

Warning
The pickle module is not intended to be secure against erroneous or
maliciously constructed data. Never unpickle data received from an
untrusted or unauthenticated source.
