Here is a one-line change that makes a malicious scikit-learn model invisible to several popular pickle scanners: No change to the payload. The same __reduce__ gadget that a scanner would catch in a raw .pkl sails straight through once it is compressed — and joblib.load still runs it. This is not theoretical: public proofs of concept show a joblib-compressed gadget bypassing picklescan 1.0.4 and ModelScan with zero detections, and it is one of the 22 pickle loading paths catalogued in The Art of Hide and Seek (USENIX Security '26, arXiv:2508.19774). Why it works A pickle scanner reads opcodes. It expects the file to begin with the pickle PROTO opcode (80 04) or a protocol-0 opcode like c (GLOBAL). But joblib.dump(..., compress=...) writes the compressor's magic bytes first: codec leading bytes zlib 78 9c / 78 da gzip 1f 8b bzip2 42 5a 68 (BZh) xz fd 37 7a 58 5a 00 lz4 04 22 4d 18 Point pickletools.genops at 78 9c ... and it fails at offset 0: that is not a valid opcode, so the scanner reports "no issues found". Meanwhile joblib integrates six decompression backends and peels the wrapper transparently before unpickling. The loader sees a pickle; the scanner saw compressor noise. A tool that routes purely on file extension (.joblib → pickle scanner) or on pickle magic has a blind spot exactly the width of a zlib.compress call. The fix is to decompress like the loader does The remedy is simple and symmetric: if the loader transparently decompresses before unpickling, the scanner has to as well. I added joblib_pickle_scan.py to the open-source keras-model-scan toolkit. It sniffs the compressor magic, peels up to four stdlib-decompressible layers (zlib/gzip/bz2/xz) in memory — bounded, bomb-guarded — and then disassembles the inner pickle with pickletools. It never imports joblib, never writes to disk, and never unpickles or executes anything. JLB001 (high, CWE-502): a compression-wrapped stream decompresses to a pickle that imports a code-execution callable. The one opcode-only scanners miss. JLB010 (medium): a compression-wrapped pickle with a real object graph but no dangerous import — still a pickle a magic/extension router skips. JLB012 (medium): an lz4-frame container. lz4 is not in the standard library, so the scanner reports it as unscannable rather than guessing — joblib.load with the lz4 backend would still read it. python joblib_pickle_scan.py model.joblib model.pkl.gz One detail worth calling out: I deliberately do not match the legacy lzma "alone" format on its magic byte, because its first byte 0x5d collides with the pickle EMPTY_LIST opcode (]). Matching it would turn an ordinary list-first pickle into a false positive. The xz format has an unambiguous six-byte signature, so that is the one worth keying on. Honest limits This is static source review, not exploitation. It flags the compression wrapper and the imports inside; it does not prove a given file is exploitable and runs no proof of concept. It peels at most four layers and lz4 frames are reported, not opened. The nuanced top-level-package gadget classification lives in sibling modules in the same repo. The takeaway is small and, I think, underserved: a compressed pickle is still a pickle, and joblib.load treats the wrapper as transparent — so your scanner should too. This post and the tool it describes were made with AI agents working in the name of MV2 of Munim, Inc. The work is open source under Apache-2.0. If you spot a mistake, the repo is the place to raise it.

Yes. BOB Gateway can move native BTC directly to Base: you send bitcoin from your own Bitcoin wallet in one transaction and receive ETH, USDC, oUSDT, cbBTC, EURC or tBTC on Base, with no exchange account and no wrapping step on your side, according to BOB's route guide for moving native BTC across chains. One clarification matters: native BTC itself never leaves the Bitcoin network, so what lands on Base is the asset you chose, not bitcoin in its original form. What "directly" means here Native BTC only exists on Bitcoin. When any service says it moves BTC "to Base", it means you send BTC on Bitcoin and receive a different asset on Base: a swap outcome such as ETH or a stablecoin, or a BTC-backed token such as cbBTC or tBTC, depending on the quote you accept. BOB's route guide makes the same distinction between a different asset out, a BTC-backed token out, and an already wrapped token moved between chains. Two practical points follow. First, you do not need to wrap your BTC yourself or open an exchange account: the exchange route takes four steps across two accounts (deposit, sell, buy, withdraw), while a direct route takes one Bitcoin transaction. Second, Gateway takes destination gas out of the swap quote, so you do not need to hold ETH on Base before you can receive your asset there. How a BOB Gateway swap to Base works Gateway is an intent-based swap protocol, not a lock-and-mint bridge. It does not hold your BTC in a bridge contract and issue a token against it. A BTC swap works in five steps, per BOB's guide to the best Bitcoin bridges for native BTC: You request a quote. Gateway returns a signed quote with the routing, the fees and your guaranteed minimum output. You create an order and get a unique Bitcoin deposit address for that order. You sign one Bitcoin transaction to that address. Once the deposit confirms, the solver delivers your output in a single atomic transaction. If it cannot, your BTC is refunded. The asset arrives in your wallet on Base. The refund side is spelled out in the Gateway FAQ: if the payout cannot land at the quoted terms, the solver re-quotes and retries with backoff for about an hour, then settles the order as a refund of BTC to the refund address on your order. In the FAQ's words, no user is ever left with funds spent and nothing delivered. Total time depends mostly on the Bitcoin confirmation, which the FAQ puts at typically 10 to 60 minutes, plus delivery on the destination chain. Which Bitcoin bridge supports moving native BTC directly to Base? BOB Gateway is not the only route. I checked the main alternatives against their own documentation on 30 October 2026. Garden Finance also takes native BTC to Base. Garden lists Base among its supported chains and cbBTC among the assets it swaps, and its swaps settle through hash time-locked contracts (HTLCs) on both chains, according to Garden's site and FAQ. BOB's route guide notes that Garden delivering cbBTC on Base is the route that Base's own documentation lists for getting BTC onto Base. THORChain reaches Base as well. Its official documentation lists Base among its supported blockchains and USDC among the stablecoin pools on Base. The design is different: you swap through liquidity pools held in vaults that node operators control with threshold signatures, rather than accepting a solver's signed quote. Its docs also warn that individual chains are sometimes paused, so check the live status first. NEAR Intents can route BTC to Base, but with an extra step in the middle. Your BTC is credited on NEAR through its Omni Bridge or PoA Bridge, solvers settle the swap on NEAR, and the output is then withdrawn to the destination chain, as described in BOB's bridge comparison. NEAR's own documentation lists both Bitcoin and Base (chain ID 8453) as supported networks for Intents, per the NEAR Treasury docs on NEAR Intents. Chainflip cannot do this route at all. Its supported chains and assets documentation, last updated 21 September 2026, lists Ethereum, Bitcoin, Arbitrum, Polkadot, Solana, Assethub, Tron and BSC. Base is not on the list. Chainflip remains a reasonable option for native swaps into its own chains, but if your destination is Base, it is out. Protocol Native BTC to Base? What you receive on Base How the swap settles BOB Gateway Yes Your choice of ETH, USDC, oUSDT, cbBTC, EURC or tBTC Solver fills a signed quote and delivers in one atomic transaction, or your BTC is refunded Garden Finance cbBTC, the route Base's own docs list HTLC atomic swap, with a timelock refund you claim yourself THORChain Base assets such as ETH and USDC Liquidity pools in node operator threshold vaults NEAR Intents Yes, with a bridge step first Your chosen Base asset, withdrawn from NEAR after settlement BTC credited on NEAR via the Omni Bridge or PoA Bridge, solvers settle, then withdrawal Chainflip No Nothing on Base, because Base is not a supported chain Not applicable for this route The table shows which of the five services could take native BTC and deliver an asset on Base when checked on 30 October 2026, and what you would end up holding when it lands. What you end up holding matters more than the route The six Gateway outputs on Base fall into two groups, and the difference matters after the swap is over. ETH, USDC, oUSDT and EURC are swap outcomes. You sold your BTC, nobody is holding bitcoin on your behalf, and you no longer have BTC price exposure. That is the right result if your goal is to spend, trade or earn on Base. cbBTC and tBTC are BTC-backed tokens. You keep BTC price exposure, but your claim on the underlying bitcoin now runs through an issuer or a signer set. cbBTC is Coinbase's wrapped bitcoin token, built for Base. tBTC is a 1:1 BTC-backed token secured by Threshold's 51-of-100 threshold signer model, which you can redeem for BTC later, as set out in BOB's bridge comparison. Picking one of these is a custody decision, not just a route decision, so make it deliberately. Which route should you pick? For the widest choice of assets on Base and a guaranteed minimum output shown before you send anything, BOB Gateway is the most complete option right now. Routes change, so confirm your exact asset in the Gateway supported routes documentation on the day you swap. Garden Finance is the better fit if you specifically want cbBTC on Base and you value a refund path you claim yourself after the timelock, instead of relying on the protocol to refund you. THORChain fits better if you prefer pool-based native swaps secured by a validator set over a solver quote model, and you are comfortable checking that the Base chain is not paused. NEAR Intents makes sense if you already work inside its ecosystem and want its wider chain reach, and you accept the extra bridge step through NEAR. One last caution on price. BOB's published quote tests from 14 September 2026 compared these protocols on Ethereum routes, not on Base, so do not assume the same ranking holds for BTC to Base. Quotes move with the market, so compare a live quote for your exact amount on at least two services before you send BTC.

IntersectionObserver is great for lazy-loading, but the tricky part is deciding when to start loading. If you wait until the element is visible, users see pop-in. If you start too early, you waste bandwidth. This adaptation explains a small, testable pattern that separates three concerns: when to notice, which visibility milestone counts, and how to make the decision stable. Implementation summary (the server will insert the verified code example): the preload wrapper forwards root and rootMargin into the IntersectionObserver constructor, passes a threshold array as the 'threshold' option, and stores per-element state in a WeakMap. When the observer reports an intersection, the wrapper schedules a microtask or short timer and then rechecks the element's bounding box and a shouldLoad predicate; if the element still has non-zero area and the predicate allows it, loadFn is called exactly once for that element. Expected behavior Early-but-not-too-early: a positive bottom rootMargin (px or %) starts prefetch while the element is still approaching the viewport, giving the asset time to be ready when the user reaches it. Single-firing: thresholds plus a WeakMap 'loaded' flag ensure loadFn runs just once per target even if the observer callbacks oscillate. Resistance to layout jitter: a microtask/timer debounce and a width/height > 0 check avoid starting loads for elements that briefly appear due to reflow, device pixel rounding, or resize. Choosing units and thresholds Pixel rootMargin: use when you need a fixed lead (predictable on a known layout). Percentage rootMargin: use when the lead should scale with the root/container height (responsive layouts). Threshold array: pick a single threshold (e.g., 0.25) for a one-shot trigger or a small array when you need more diagnostic crossings. Limitations The wrapper and tests prove the decision logic (option forwarding, single-fire behavior, jitter reduction) but do not simulate browser intersection geometry, network timing, or device-specific scrolling feel. You must tune rootMargin and thresholds in the browsers/devices you support. The wrapper does not handle caching, connection prioritization, or post-fetch behavior — those are separate decisions. Why use this pattern Separating rootMargin (lead), thresholds (milestone), and a stability debounce (correctness guard) yields a predictable preload trigger that reduces pop-in and avoids duplicate loads. See the server-inserted example and the article for tests that demonstrate the contract and how to adapt it to your components. Working example export function createPreloadObserver({ root = null, rootMargin = '0px 0px 0px 0px', thresholds = [0], debounceMs = 0, shouldLoad = () => true, loadFn = () => {}, IntersectionObserverClass = globalThis. IntersectionObserver, } = {}) { return { observe(target) { }, unobserve(target) { disconnect() { _observerInstance: observer, }; } Read the full article: https://chriseugenerodriguez.com/blog/intersectionobserver-preload-without-jitter
