Hello everyone !

A high-risk security flaw has been identified in WinRAR version 7.13 (x64) that could let attackers execute malicious code via specially crafted archive files. Systems with this version installed and not updated are at immediate risk. The vendor has issued a fix, but WinRAR does not auto-update, leaving unpatched systems vulnerable.

Vulnerability Impact
Attackers can leverage the flaw to execute arbitrary code, potentially compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. This makes timely patching critical, especially in environments with sensitive or business-critical information.
