critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 435263

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - An Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions vulnerability in the ZIP archive scanning component of
 mmaitre314 picklescan allows a remote attacker to bypass security scans. This is achieved by crafting a
 ZIP archive containing a file with a bad Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), which causes the scanner to halt
 and fail to analyze the contents for malicious pickle files. When the file incorrectly considered safe is
 loaded, it can lead to the execution of malicious code. (CVE-2025-10156)
