Is it that you can keep using the free trial forever? /s
yeah it’s called winrar
Switch to 7-Zip now!
scoop install 7zip.everytime.
Peazip is also a very good alternative.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The issue was discovered by Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG), which discussed the problem in depth in a blog post.
The issue allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code when someone opens a zipped file.
"Cybercrime groups began exploiting the vulnerability in early 2023, when the bug was still unknown to defenders.
“TAG has observed government-backed actors from a number of countries exploiting the WinRAR vulnerability as part of their operations.”
While WinRAR is a useful piece of software used by over half a billion people, it is perhaps more famous as a meme or as the butt of jokes.
When Microsoft announced native support for the .rar file format, WinRAR shared a meme on Twitter (now called X).
The original article contains 333 words, the summary contains 119 words. Saved 64%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Good bot!
TLDR Some folks just never update their software. Idk if this is just a Windows problem but damn. I remember reading about this 0-day months ago and thinking to myself malware groups will have a field day before the vulnerability finally becomes dead just because of this.
Again? Is it the same one with 7zip?
