This link is maintained to preserve external references.\n\n## Original Description\npdfminer.six before 20251230 contains an insecure deserialization vulnerability in the CMap loading mechanism. The library uses Python pickle to deserialize CMap cache files without validation. An attacker with the ability to place a malicious pickle file in a location accessible to the application can trigger arbitrary code execution or privilege escalation when the file is loaded by a trusted process. This is caused by an incomplete patch to CVE-2025-64512.","references":[{"reference_url":"https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six","reference_id":"","reference_type":"","scores":[{"value":"7.8","scoring_system":"cvssv3.1","scoring_elements":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"value":"HIGH","scoring_system":"generic_textual","scoring_elements":""}],"url":"https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six"},{"reference_url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-70559","reference_id":"CVE-2025-70559","reference_type":"","scores":[{"value":"7.8","scoring_system":"cvssv3.1","scoring_elements":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"value":"HIGH","scoring_system":"generic_textual","scoring_elements":""}],"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-70559"},{"reference_url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8x2r-v9x5-3qgh","reference_id":"GHSA-8x2r-v9x5-3qgh","reference_type":"","scores":[{"value":"HIGH","scoring_system":"cvssv3.1_qr","scoring_elements":""}],"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8x2r-v9x5-3qgh"},{"reference_url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-f83h-ghpp-7wcc","reference_id":"GHSA-f83h-ghpp-7wcc","reference_type":"","scores":[{"value":"7.8","scoring_system":"cvssv3.1","scoring_elements":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"value":"HIGH","scoring_system":"generic_textual","scoring_elements":""}],"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-f83h-ghpp-7wcc"},{"reference_url":"https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six/security/advisories/GHSA-f83h-ghpp-7wcc","reference_id":"GHSA-f83h-ghpp-7wcc","reference_type":"","scores":[{"value":"7.8","scoring_system":"cvssv3.1","scoring_elements":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"value":"HIGH","scoring_system":"generic_textual","scoring_elements":""}],"url":"https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six/security/advisories/GHSA-f83h-ghpp-7wcc"}],"fixed_packages":[{"url":"http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/api/packages/71352?format=json","purl":"pkg:pypi/pdfminer.six@20251230","is_vulnerable":false,"affected_by_vulnerabilities":[],"resource_url":"http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/packages/pkg:pypi/pdfminer.six@20251230"}],"aliases":["GHSA-8x2r-v9x5-3qgh"],"risk_score":4.0,"exploitability":"0.5","weighted_severity":"8.0","resource_url":"http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/vulnerabilities/VCID-51hc-x936-6yec"},{"url":"http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/api/vulnerabilities/48344?format=json","vulnerability_id":"VCID-vqxx-4fgs-cfd5","summary":"Insecure 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
