WinRAR 7.13 Beta 1 released
Release date: 25.07.2025
-
Another directory traversal vulnerability, differing from that
in WinRAR 7.12, has been fixed.
When extracting a file, previous versions of WinRAR, Windows versions of RAR, UnRAR, portable UnRAR source code and UnRAR.dll can be tricked into using a path, defined in a specially crafted archive, instead of user specified path.
Unix versions of RAR, UnRAR, portable UnRAR source code and UnRAR library, also as RAR for Android, are not affected.
We are thankful to Anton Cherepanov, Peter Kosinar, and Peter Strycek from ESET for letting us know about this security issue.

Bugs fixed:
-
WinRAR 7.12 "Import settings from file" command failed to restore

profiles, created by WinRAR 5.21 and older.

WinRAR 7.12 "Import settings from file" command failed to restore
