Critical vulnerabilities in WinRAR, such as CVE-2025-8088 and CVE-2025-6218, allow attackers to use "path traversal" techniques to execute malware silently upon file extraction. These exploits frequently disguise malicious files as legitimate content, saving them directly to startup folders to gain persistent, zero-interaction execution. To mitigate these risks, it is essential to update to WinRAR version 7.13 or later and avoid downloading archives from untrusted sources.
