CVE-2024-8811
CVSS v3.1
7.8
High
| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
WinZip versions prior to 29.0
Description
The issue is related to a Mark-of-the-Web Bypass Vulnerability in WinZip, allowing remote attackers to bypass the Mark-of-the-Web protection mechanism. This can be exploited when a user opens a malicious file or visits a malicious page, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. The vulnerability exists within the handling of archive files, where WinZip removes the Mark-of-the-Web from the archive file and the extracted files lack the Mark-of-the-Web.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 29.0, update to version 29.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of WinZip for handling archive files until a patch is applied. Restrict access to potentially malicious files and websites to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Fix

Protection Mechanism Failure
