    This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of 7-Zip.
    Interaction with this product is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary
    depending on the implementation.The specific flaw exists within the handling of symbolic links in ZIP
    files. Crafted data in a ZIP file can cause the process to traverse to unintended directories. An attacker
    can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of a service account.
