| Exploitation Conditions | The victim must actively open a crafted LVM2 disk image file using a NanaZip installation between versions 3.0.1000.0 and before 6.0.1698.0 on Windows. NanaZip's LVM disk image support via the inherited 7-Zip LvmHandler is enabled as part of the product's default archive and disk-image handling capability - no special non-default configuration is required to expose the vulnerable code path. User interaction (UI:R) is a hard prerequisite: the malicious file must be deliberately opened by the victim; passive or drive-by delivery alone is insufficient. No authentication, elevated privileges, or special network position is required on the attacker's side. Exploitation is scoped to the NanaZip process (S:U); no lateral movement, privilege escalation, or cross-process impact is implied. |
| Impact | The official CVSS 3.1 base score of 4.3 (Medium) reflects network-deliverable attack vector (AV:N), no privileges required (PR:N), user interaction required (UI:R), unchanged scope (S:U), and impact limited to low availability (A:L) with no confidentiality or integrity impact. However, the 'Information Disclosure' tag in the source data conflicts with the official C:N rating - CWE-125 heap over-reads inherently risk exposing adjacent heap memory content, which may not be fully captured by C:N; this discrepancy should be verified against the full vendor advisory at GHSA-qcgf-c2vp-fwjr. EPSS at 0.04% (11th percentile) and the absence of a CISA KEV listing together confirm very low exploitation priority. No public exploit code exists. The mandatory user interaction (opening the crafted file) is a meaningful friction point that substantially limits mass exploitation. Overall, this is a low-priority, user-triggered crash-or-leak affecting a desktop archiving utility, not a server-side component - realistic attacker value is limited. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malformed LVM2 disk image containing an out-of-bounds field offset in its physical-volume metadata header, then delivers it to a target via email attachment, a malicious download link, or a shared network drive. When the victim opens the file in an unpatched NanaZip installation, the LvmHandler parser reads beyond the allocated heap buffer, causing NanaZip to crash and potentially surfacing adjacent heap memory content. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis, and user interaction to manually open the file is a required step that limits opportunistic mass exploitation. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 12, 2026
Heap out-of-bounds read in NanaZip's inherited 7-Zip LvmHandler component allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the application or potentially expose heap memory by tricking a user into opening a maliciously crafted LVM2 disk image. All NanaZip installations from version 3.0.1000.0 up to (but not including) 6.0.1698.0 on Windows are vulnerable. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified; an EPSS score of 0.04% at the 11th percentile reflects very low real-world exploitation probability.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade NanaZip to stable version 6.0.1698.0 or preview version 6.5.1742.0, both confirmed fixed per the vendor advisory at https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip/security/advisories/GHSA-qcgf-c2vp-fwjr. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, avoid opening untrusted LVM2 or raw disk image files in NanaZip; removing or restricting the Windows file-type association for LVM-related image formats (e.g., .img, raw disk images) reduces attack surface but may disrupt legitimate disk-image workflows. No server-side workarounds apply as this is a client desktop application.

Technical ContextAI · show details
NanaZip (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:m2team:nanazip:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is a modern Windows-focused derivative of 7-Zip and inherits 7-Zip's LvmHandler, the component responsible for parsing LVM2 (Linux Volume Manager 2) physical-volume metadata embedded in raw disk images. The root cause, CWE-125 (Out-of-bounds Read), indicates that the parser reads beyond the allocated heap buffer boundary - a class of bug typically arising when variable-length record counts or field-offset values inside a crafted disk image header are not validated before the parser iterates over them. Because the overflow is a read (not a write), direct code execution is considered unlikely, but heap memory adjacent to the buffer may be exposed and process stability is impaired. The upstream 7-Zip LvmHandler origin means other 7-Zip-based archivers potentially share the same code path, though only NanaZip is confirmed affected by this advisory.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
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 buffer-overflow read exists in the LVM2 physical-volume metadata parser in NanaZip (via the upstream 7-Zip LvmHandler). The vulnerability is triggered when opening a crafted LVM disk image. This issue has been patched in stable version 6.0.1698.0 and preview version 6.5.1742.0.

Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
