CVE-2026-16517

A signed integer overflow vulnerability was found in libarchive's ZIP writer. In the archivewritezipheader function in archivewritesetformatzip.c, when ZIP encryption is enabled and the entry file size is close to INT64MAX, the addition of the encryption overhead to the entry size overflows int64...

CVE-2026-44722

pyzipper is a replacement for Python's zipfile that can read and write AES encrypted zip files. Prior to 0.4.0, a Python operator precedence bug in pyzipper/zipfileaes.py caused the AE-2 format to never be automatically selected during encryption, causing encrypted entries to be written in AE-1...

PYSEC-2026-3044 pyzipper has an encryption bypass for small files encrypted using it

Impact A Python operator precedence bug in pyzipper/zipfileaes.py caused the AE-2 format to never be automatically selected during encryption, regardless of file size or compression type. As a result, all encrypted entries are written in AE-1 format unless AE-2 is explicitly forced by the caller...

Integer Overflow or Wraparound

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound in the archivewritezipheader function when ZIP encryption is enabled and the entry file size is close to INT64MAX. An attacker can cause undefined behavior, such as incorrect Zip64 extension decisions or a...

CVE-2014-2319

The Encrypt Files feature in ConeXware PowerArchiver before 14.02.05 uses legacy ZIP encryption even if the AES 256-bit selection is chosen, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information via a known-plaintext attack...

Yet another plaintext attack to ZIP encryption scheme.

Introduction ------------ The ZIP format is one of the most widely used compresion/archival programs on computers systems, its use is even more extended on Windows plataform, with WinZIP program. Known Attacks ------------- The PKZIP encryption scheme have been proved to be weak in a lot of paper...
