My fellow lewds,
If you actively use winRAR - for obvious reasons -, run any OS but Unix and have app version < 7.12, you need to update asap. 7.12 is now 3 weeks old.
Apparently there is a backward compatible, easy exploit now public. Lots of exploit damage is expected, calculated on global scale, on the uphill now. 7.12 was dated 26 june 2025. Google is your friend here, Duckduck as well, I won't feed you. The exploit apparently allows for remote code execution outside the archived paths on all app supported archive types.
F95 users and use case, make it an interesting target. Many fresh archives, and hungry clickers. You are hereby forewarned, don't become a lost homework statistic.
I only heard about after an old colleague got infected this weekend. As now front end developer, he knows more than the average about software and computers, and he trashed his OS. He even had to clear all ROM's after a clean reinstall got re-infected. First time I heard this, but through elimination his GPU ROM was highly suspect.
Employer funded firewall and scanner, he got no flags until his Windows was unrecoverable.
Damage: data on drives unrecoverable, possible/probable encryption ongoing on power interrupt. I assume emotional damage on lost homework and time.
Not getting a clear respons on where/how he got it, also told me enough.
Keep well bro's and bro'ets
P.s. I co-blame MS, simply because I can. WIndows 11 is epic, no, correction: Legendary horseshit.
