User information disclosure via unescaped archive names
Published Nov 12, 2025 · Updated Nov 12, 2025
Cross-site scripting in RARLAB WinRAR 7.11 allows attackers to disclose local user information through a crafted archived file name. The Generate Report command writes archived file names into an HTML report without escaping angle brackets, allowing injected tags to execute when rendered. The victim must generate and open the report; exposed data is limited to browser-accessible local details such as the username, report directory, and IP address.
