STINNER Victor <vstinner at python.org> added the comment:

According to the Python Security Model, this issue is not security vulnerability:
(*) https://python-security.readthedocs.io/security.html#python-security-model

The marshal is not intended to be used to load untrusted code. That's why its documentation contains the red warning:
"The marshal module is not intended to be secure against erroneous or maliciously constructed data. Never unmarshal data received from an untrusted or unauthenticated source."
