AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L
File delivered over network (AV:N), no crafting complexity (AC:L), no privileges needed (PR:N), but user must open file (UI:R); heap overread yields limited confidentiality exposure (C:L) and deterministic crash (A:L) with no integrity impact.

NanaZip is the 7-Zip derivative intended for the modern Windows experience. From version 3.0.1000.0 to before version 6.0.1698.0, a heap out-of-bounds read exists in the Android Verified Boot (AVB) vbmeta image parser in NanaZip (via the upstream 7-Zip AvbHandler). An unsigned integer underflow in a bounds check allows an attacker-controlled value_num_bytes field to pass validation, causing AddNameToString to read up to ~4 GiB past the end of a 64 KiB heap buffer. This causes a deterministic crash (denial of service) when opening a crafted .avb or .img file. This issue has been patched in stable version 6.0.1698.0 and preview version 6.5.1742.0.
AnalysisAI
Heap out-of-bounds read in NanaZip's Android Verified Boot (AVB) vbmeta image parser crashes the application and may leak heap memory contents when a victim opens a crafted .avb or .img file. Affected versions span 3.0.1000.0 through any release before 6.0.1698.0, covering a wide install base of Windows users. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The victim must actively open a crafted .avb or .img file using a vulnerable NanaZip installation (versions 3.0.1000.0 through pre-6.0.1698.0) on Windows. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L, score 5.4) accurately reflects the attack profile: network-deliverable file, low crafting complexity, no authentication required, but requires user interaction to open the file. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious .avb or .img file with a value_num_bytes field set to a value that triggers unsigned integer underflow in the bounds check. The file is delivered via email attachment, file-sharing link, or embedded in an archive. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade NanaZip to stable version 6.0.1698.0 or preview version 6.5.1742.0, both of which contain the patch per the vendor advisory at https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip/security/advisories/GHSA-mqqj-crf3-6q37. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
