AI-analyzed exploit summary This Python script generates a malicious ZIP archive exploiting CVE-2025-11001 in 7-Zip < 25.00. It crafts a symlink entry with directory traversal sequences to drop a payload in an arbitrary location when extracted, leading to RCE or LPE.
Description
7-Zip ZIP File Parsing Directory Traversal Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. 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. Was ZDI-CAN-26753.
Exploits (7)
This Python script generates a malicious ZIP archive exploiting CVE-2025-11001 in 7-Zip < 25.00. It crafts a symlink entry with directory traversal sequences to drop a payload in an arbitrary location when extracted, leading to RCE or LPE.
The repository contains a functional exploit for CVE-2025-11001, which leverages a symlink vulnerability in 7-Zip (versions 21.02 to 25.00) on Windows. The exploit crafts a malicious ZIP file that, when extracted with admin privileges, creates a symlink to a target directory and embeds a payload file, enabling arbitrary file write or privilege escalation.
This repository contains a Python script that generates a malicious ZIP archive exploiting CVE-2025-11001, a directory traversal vulnerability in 7-Zip versions prior to 25.00. The exploit leverages symlink traversal to achieve arbitrary file write, potentially leading to RCE when the victim extracts the archive as Administrator.
This PoC exploits CVE-2025-11001, a path traversal vulnerability in 7-Zip due to improper handling of symbolic links. It crafts a malicious ZIP archive that, when extracted, writes arbitrary files to privileged locations on Windows systems.
This PoC exploits a symlink vulnerability in 7-Zip (CVE-2025-11001) by crafting a malicious ZIP file that, when extracted with admin privileges, creates a symlink to a target directory and embeds a payload. The exploit leverages ZIP file manipulation to achieve arbitrary file write via symlink traversal.
This PoC exploits CVE-2025-11001 in 7-Zip by crafting a malicious ZIP file containing a symlink and an embedded executable. The vulnerability leverages symlink creation during extraction to achieve arbitrary file write, leading to potential RCE when 7-Zip is run with admin privileges.
This repository contains a web-based scanner for detecting the CVE-2023-52169 symlink traversal vulnerability in 7-Zip archives. It includes both frontend and backend components for uploading, analyzing, and reporting on ZIP files, but does not contain functional exploit code.
