Analyst Synthesis

Technical analysis, exploit verification, and patch instructions for CVE-2026-58052 impacting 7-zip 7-zip. Evaluated with CVSS Base Score of 3.3 (LOW).

Original NVD Description

Source: NIST NVD
7-Zip for Windows through 26.01 fails to preserve the Mark-of-the-Web when extracting a crafted RAR5 archive, because its guard that suppresses an archive-supplied Zone.Identifier stream matches the exact name 'Zone.Identifier' while a RAR5 STM record named ':Zone.Identifier:$DATA' is not matched and NTFS canonicalizes it to the same stream, overwriting the propagated Internet-zone marker with ZoneId=0. A second STM record named '::$DATA' overwrites the extracted file's default data stream, letting an attacker defeat SmartScreen/MotW warnings and spoof file content.
