(The defense against CVE-2025-29787 was broken in v7.2.0)","description":"zip is a zip library for Rust that supports reading and writing simple ZIP files. From 7.2.0 until 9.0.0, ZipArchive::extract and ZipArchive::extract_unwrapped_root_dir use safe_prepare_path in src/read/zipfile.rs and simplified_components in src/path.rs to validate symbolic link targets with a lexical prefix comparison rather than resolving each intermediate link. An attacker who knows or can guess the absolute extraction destination can create a chain whose apparent target remains under the destination while an intermediate symlink resolves outside it, allowing attacker-controlled files to be created or overwritten with the extracting process's privileges. On Windows, discarded drive and UNC prefixes can permit a single-link escape when the process has SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege, such as through administrator rights or Developer Mode. This regression is distinct from CVE-2025-29787. This issue is fixed in version 9.0.0.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-26T16:34:29.328+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-26T16:34:29.328+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"zip2","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"zip-rs\",\n                    \"product\": \"zip2\",\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"version\": \">= 7.2.0, < 9.0.0\",\n                            \"status\": \"affected\"\n                        }\n                    ]\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","score":7.4,"severity":"HIGH"}],"references":["https://github.com/zip-rs/zip2/security/advisories/GHSA-hjqx-j4rw-g7xv","https://github.com/zip-rs/zip2/commit/09c030eab56e8db8fb3c1c33f554407b30bad8fa","https://github.com/zip-rs/zip2/releases/tag/v9.0.0"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-115908","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-115908","identifiers":["CVE-2026-115908"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[]}
