A vulnerability has been discovered in 7-Zip, which could allow for arbitrary code execution. 7-Zip is a free and open-source file archiver. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow for arbitrary code execution. Depending on the privileges associated with the user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
