7-Zip 0.0.x < 24.09 (ZDI-25-045)

high Nessus Plugin ID 214542

Synopsis

The remote host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of 7-Zip installed on the remote host is prior to 24.09. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ZDI-25-045 advisory.

- The specific flaw exists within the handling of archived files. When extracting files from a crafted archive that bears the Mark-of-the-Web, 7-Zip does not propagate the Mark-of-the-Web to the extracted files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to 7-Zip version 24.09 or later.
