Error verifying pickled file, the file may be malicious, so the program is not going to read it.

Situation

• First time using the script.
• I followed the installation steps without problems.
• Using latest version of Stable Diffusion WebUI.

Problem

When finishing the render, an error with ./models/midas/res101.pth:

There's a note in there suggesting:

*** Error verifying pickled file from ./models/midas/res101.pth
*** The file may be malicious, so the program is not going to read it.
*** You can skip this check with --disable-safe-unpickle commandline argument.

Given the implications of using the --disable-safe-unpickle (a python warning) and it's not part of the installation step, I don't think I should skip this check.

As an user, is there's a way around it besides skipping the check?

This is a little strange. It might be a corrupted download so you might just want to delete models/midas/res101.pth which will force it too redownload a fresh copy.

Also res101 isn't necessarily the best model so you could try switching the depthmodel to a midas model.
