CVE-2019-6446: numpy: crafted serialized object passed in numpy.load() in pickle python module allows arbitrary code execution

Severity: Critical

CVSS Score: 9.8

An issue was discovered in NumPy before 1.16.3. It uses the pickle Python module unsafely, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted serialized object, as demonstrated by a numpy.load call. NOTE: third parties dispute this issue because it is a behavior that might have legitimate applications in (for example) loading serialized Python object arrays from trusted and authenticated sources.
