CVE-2026-12565

The unarchive internal module's archive extraction commands perform no code-level validation on extracted file paths, relying entirely on the behavior of external tools e.g. GNU tar which varies by platform. While CVE-2025-10284 addressed git-specific RCE vectors, the underlying archive extractio...

USN-8420-1: .NET vulnerabilities

It was discovered that .NET did not properly handle link resolution before file access. A local attacker could use this issue to perform unauthorized file tampering and write arbitrary files outside of the intended extraction directory. CVE-2026-45491 It was discovered that .NET did not properly...

CVE-2026-45380 bit7z: Path Traversal via Null Byte Injection from `gcount()` Off-by-One in `restoreSymlink()`

bit7z is a cross-platform C++ static library that allows the compression/extraction of archive files. Prior to version 4.0.12, a one-byte off-by-one error in SafeOutPathBuilder::restoreSymlink allows an attacker to craft a .7z archive that, when extracted with bit7z on any non-Windows platform,...

SharpCompress has directory traversal via directory entries in WriteToDirectory (zip slip variant)

Summary A path traversal vulnerability in IArchive.WriteToDirectory allows a malicious archive to create directories outside the intended extraction root. For TAR archives, this can be escalated to arbitrary file writes by chaining with a symlink entry, giving a full write primitive on the target...
