Insecure deserialization: pickle.loads on untrusted data
What it detects
pickle.loads executes arbitrary code during deserialization. Never use it on data that could be user-controlled.
How it runs
Applied line-by-line via a tagged regex with language-specific gating. Comments are skipped. Designed for high-confidence patterns where AST parsing would be overkill.
