// RAPPEL -> Vulnérabilités 7-Zip : sortie du répertoire et exécution à distance

Deux failles critiques permettent l’évasion du répertoire de travail et l’exécution de code via des ZIP piégés. Mettez à jour immédiatement.

Deux #faille importantes de #sécurité découvertes dans #7Zip
Le gestionnaire d’#archives bien connu 7-Zip est touché par deux failles importantes, mais non critiques. Elles sont de type « path traversal » et résident dans la manière dont l’application gère les liens symboliques de type #Unix sur Windows lors de l’extraction d’un fichier #Zip.
https://next.ink/brief_article/deux-failles-importantes-de-securite-decouvertes-dans-7-zip/

Es una vulnerabilidad algo rebuscada de aprovechar (desde la perspectiva de hackeroso maloso), pero si usáis Windows y 7-Zip es buena idea actualizar el programa o sustituirlo por Peazip.

Deux nouvelles failles de sécurité découvertes dans 7-Zip : quels sont les risques ?

Nice of Microsoft to support 7zip in Windows 11. It's convenient for quickly extracting from 7z archives. Problem is, from time to time I get the attached error when trying to open an archive using Explorer.

Catastrophic failure! ⚠️ :clippy: 😱

When this error happens, I have to right-click the file and do the whole "Open with ..." schtick.

PRO TIP: THE ARCHIVES ARE FINE - IF OPENED WITH 7ZIP.

Haven't figured out why Windows freaks out on them.

Two critical 7-Zip flaws risk remote code execution via crafted ZIPs 📂
CVE-2025-11001 & CVE-2025-11002 exploit symbolic link handling to write files outside extraction folders ⚠️

Patch released in July, but no auto-update leaves many exposed.
Update to 7-Zip 25.01 ASAP 🔄

@krutonium My guess is that the #7zip #devs still have some #WindowsXP machine / #VM somewhere and want to keep it supported...

@krutonium Well, #7zip doesn't utilize any #API|s that are not available on #WindowsXP like #WPF (#WindowsPresentationFoundation) as #UI toolkit.

Full Marks to the #7zip people for the latest versions of 7zip still working on XP.

Сентябрьский «В тренде VM»: уязвимости в архиваторах WinRAR и 7-Zip, SAP NetWeaver и TrueConf Server

Привет! На связи Александр Леонов, ведущий эксперт PT Expert Security Center и дежурный по самым опасным уязвимостям месяца. Мы с командой аналитиков Positive Technologies каждый месяц исследуем информацию об уязвимостях из баз и бюллетеней безопасности вендоров, социальных сетей, блогов, телеграм-каналов, баз эксплойтов, публичных репозиториев кода и выявляем во всем этом многообразии сведений трендовые уязвимости. Это те уязвимости, которые либо уже эксплуатируются вживую, либо будут эксплуатироваться в ближайшее время. С прошлого дайджеста мы добавили 8 трендовых уязвимостей.

Si usáis 7-zip actualizarlo a versión 25 o superior.
En mi empresa acaban de mandar circular y si lo dicen es por algo…
