What is CVE-2005-4620?
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in WinRAR versions 3.50 and earlier, allowing local users to execute arbitrary code when providing long command-line arguments. Although this vulnerability does not typically cross privilege boundaries due to the nature of command-line executions, local exploits may still pose security concerns for users running affected versions. It is crucial for users to regularly update their software to mitigate potential risks.
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
