Popular Post Karamjit Posted December 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2021 7-Zip is an open-source file archiver, that offers the highest compression ratio, using the new 7z format, which delivers compression results that are usually 30-50% better than standard ZIP. We tested it with a server log file, which compressed with ZIP had a file size of 18 mb and using 7-Zip was reduced to 8 Mb (results may vary, depending on file type). 7Zip supports 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB formats, so it can be used with all popular archive files. The program offers a basic file explorer interface and also integrates into the Windows right-click menu. It can be associated with any of the supported formats and also offers command/line support.

Ecarion Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 According to this topic until the next (or another) version, there is perhaps a little vulnerability ("CVE-2022-29072") related to the help. To improve your security, at this moment the workaround consist just to remove the file called "7-zip.chm" ! Do you want to know if the creator (Igor PAVLOV) of 7-Zip is aware ? Because @Karlston has publish the topic 2 weeks ago (18 april 2022) and for the moment, apparently no we don't have any news. After a liitle moment, I had discover this discussion and now we can assume (or even conclude ?) it's a fake (according to the bug which doesn't seem to provide any prove). PS : An extract from the 2nd page : Quote So do you know exact line of bug in 7-zip source code ? And you don't point me it intentionally ? Why ? Do you think that it's good practice to hide full information about possible vulnerability from developer of software ? When you'll disclose details of bug and whom ?

andy2004 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 AFTER reading the discussion its a HOAX,, or should i say a SCAM on the part of Kagan Caper quote a line he wrote: "First of all, I would like to apologize. Since I am selling the vulnerability for a fee," scam / extortion for something thats only in HIS MIND.. and that HE expects the creator of 7zip to pay HIM for. before he tells him exactly where the fault it, when in fact there is NONE.. if anything is a fault in windows. Who in their right mind.. would copy a script file into a help file window.. which is what i read.. where the script open a powershell window.
