Code
`Affected: GNOME Files 43.4 (nautilus) on fedora 37  
  
Description:  
  
If an user A opens in GNOME files zip archive containing  
`setuid` file F, then F will be silently extracted to  
a subdirectory of CWD.  
  
If F is accessible by hostile local user B and B executes F,  
then F will be executed as from user A.  
  
tar(1) and unzip(1) are not vulnerable to this attack.  
  
Session for creating the ZIP.  
After that just open f.zip in GNOME files.  
<pre>
