Fickling · Fickling · CVE-2026-22606
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Fickling versions up to and including 0.1.6
**Description**
Fickling, a Python pickling decompiler and static analyzer, incorrectly classifies pickles utilizing Python’s `runpy.run path()` or `runpy.run module()` as SUSPICIOUS instead of OVERTLY MALICIOUS. This misclassification can occur when a user relies on Fickling’s output to determine the safety of pickle deserialization, potentially leading to the execution of attacker-controlled code. This issue impacts any workflow or product that uses Fickling as a security gate for pickle deserialization.
**Recommendations**
Versions prior to 0.1.7 should be updated to version 0.1.7 or later.
