Out-of-bounds heap write in the RAR5 recovery-volume (.rev) parser of WinRAR, RAR, UnRAR, and unrar.dll (versions before 7.23) lets an attacker corrupt heap memory when a victim runs a recovery, test, or repair operation on a crafted multi-file .rev set. Because subsequent .rev files supply a RecNum value validated only against their own TotalCount and never against the actual RecItems allocation, an attacker-controlled 32-bit value can be written far past the buffer, enabling memory corruption and potential code execution. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but this is the RAR5-path sibling of the previously exploited CVE-2023-40477, and CWE-787 flaws in WinRAR have historically led to reliable RCE.
WinRAR for Windows contains a path traversal vulnerability allowing crafted archives to execute arbitrary code, discovered by ESET and exploited in the wild for targeted attacks.
WinRAR contains a directory traversal vulnerability (CVE-2025-6218, CVSS 7.8) enabling remote code execution when users extract crafted archives. KEV-listed with EPSS 4.7% and public PoC, this vulnerability allows archive files to write outside the extraction directory, placing malicious files in startup folders or other sensitive locations. Given WinRAR's 500+ million user base, this is a high-impact social engineering vector.
RARLAB WinRAR before 6.23 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code when a user attempts to view a benign file within a ZIP archive. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.8), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
WinRAR before 5.61 contains a path traversal vulnerability in the ACE archive format handler (UNACEV2.dll) that allows extraction of files to arbitrary locations, enabling persistent malware installation through Startup folder placement.
WinRAR 5.61 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows local attackers to crash the application by placing a malformed winrar.lng language file in the installation directory. Rated medium severity (CVSS 6.9), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the generate report functionality in Rarlab WinRAR 7.11, allows attackers to disclose user information such as the computer username, generated report. Rated medium severity (CVSS 6.1), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
Issue that bypasses the "Mark of the Web" security warning function for files when opening a symbolic link that points to an executable file exists in WinRAR versions prior to 7.11. Rated medium severity (CVSS 6.8), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
RARLAB WinRAR before 7.00, on Windows, allows attackers to spoof the screen output via ANSI escape sequences, a different issue than CVE-2024-33899. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.5), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
RARLAB WinRAR before 7.00, on Linux and UNIX platforms, allows attackers to spoof the screen output, or cause a denial of service, via ANSI escape sequences. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.1), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
RARLAB WinRAR Mark-Of-The-Web Bypass Vulnerability. Rated medium severity (CVSS 4.3), this vulnerability is remotely exploitable, no authentication required, low attack complexity. No vendor patch available.
The file-execution functionality in WinRAR before 5.30 beta 5 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse file with a name similar to an extensionless filename that was selected by the. Rated high severity (CVSS 7.4), this vulnerability is no authentication required. No vendor patch available.
