ModelScan: Your AI’s New Best Friend Against Sneaky Serialization Attacks!
ModelScan is your AI security superhero, fighting off sneaky Model Serialization Attacks faster than you can say “pickle”. It safeguards your machine learning models against hidden Trojan Horses lurking in the serialization process. Whether you’re a data scientist or an engineer, ModelScan helps you keep the “malicious” out of “machine learning”.

Hot Take:
Who knew that cuddly Pickles could be so dangerous? As it turns out, when it comes to AI/ML, they’re more like a spicy jalapeño, ready to burn your data and steal your secrets. Thankfully, Protect AI has decided to be the fire extinguisher in this spicy serialization attack fiesta, ensuring that your models are as harmless as a bowl of vanilla ice cream.
Key Points:
- ModelScan is a tool for detecting model serialization attacks, acting like a security guard for your AI/ML models.
- Python’s Pickle serialization format is popular but comes with the risk of code execution during model loading.
- Model serialization attacks can lead to credential theft, data theft, data poisoning, and model poisoning.
- PyTorch has introduced warnings to mitigate some serialization risks, but scanning remains essential.
- ModelScan can scan models from various ML libraries and provides flexible reporting formats.
