Deserialization (pickle) in pdfminer.six CMap Loader — Local Privesc\n### 🚀 Overview\n\nThis report **demonstrates a real-world privilege escalation** vulnerability in [pdfminer.six](https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six) due to unsafe usage of Python's `pickle` module for CMap file loading.\nIt shows how a low-privileged user can gain root access (or escalate to any service account) by exploiting insecure deserialization in a typical multi-user or server environment.\n\n![line](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/74038190/212284100-561aa473-3905-4a80-b561-0d28506553ee.gif)\n\n## 🚨 Special Note\n\nThis advisory addresses a distinct vulnerability
