"The version of 7-Zip installed on the remote Windows host is >= 9.34 and prior to 26.01. It is, therefore, affected
by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An out-of-bounds read exists in 7-Zip's WIM SecurityId handling, which can lead to a crash when processing
    a crafted WIM image. (CVE-2026-48103)

  - An out-of-bounds read exists in 7-Zip's Ar/BSD SYMDEF parser due to a four-byte OOB read when parsing BSD
    symbol tables at a buffer boundary, which can lead to a crash when processing a crafted archive.
    (CVE-2026-48112)

  - A path traversal vulnerability exists in 7-Zip's extraction mode that can lead to arbitrary file write when
    extracting a crafted archive. (GHSL-2026-115)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
