Unauthenticated code execution via pickle request deserialization
Published Feb 11, 2026 · Updated Feb 11, 2026
Unsafe deserialization in zyddnys manga-image-translator beta-0.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute code through shared API requests. The /simple_execute/{method} and /execute/{method} handlers pass raw request bodies directly to pickle.loads(), which instantiates attacker-selected objects. Shared mode is exposed without authentication by default because the empty nonce makes check_nonce() skip validation, granting code execution in the server context.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
