CVE-2026-104024

MediumCVSS 4.6
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

An Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs (CWE-184) in the dangerous-extension confirmation of the archive object viewer in PeaZip 10.5.0 through 11.2.0 on Windows affects how risky file types are handled. The SECEXTCONST list contains only seven extensions (exe, cmd, msi, bat, ps1, vbs, reg) and the check is an exact string comparison, so it misses other types executed via ShellExecuteW, including .url and .lnk. As a result, opening a crafted archive entry can execute a program or arbitrary command with no confirmation dialog.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can convince a victim to open an entry in a crafted archive and execute a program or command without a warning, including via a .lnk shortcut targeting cmd.exe or a remote UNC path. There is no privilege escalation — everything runs as the user who opened the archive.

Recommendation

Update PeaZip to a version newer than 11.2.0 if available, or avoid using the archive viewer until a fix is released. Additionally, restrict opening untrusted archives and consider blocking execution of .url and .lnk files through system policies.

Original NVD description (English source)

Incomplete List of Disallowed Inputs (CWE-184) in the dangerous-extension confirmation of the archive object viewer (peach.pas, grid_obj_open) in PeaZip 10.5.0 through 11.2.0 on Windows allows an attacker who convinces a victim to open an entry of a crafted archive to execute a program, or an arbitrary command, with no confirmation dialog. The prompt (Do you want to run this file?) is gated by SECEXTCONST, a hard-coded list of seven extensions (exe cmd msi bat ps1 vbs reg); the check is an exact string comparison of the entry extension against that list, so it answers only whether the extension is one of the seven and never whether the shell will execute the file. Shell-executable and scripting-host types that Windows runs through ShellExecuteW are absent from the list, among them .url and .lnk. An archived Windows Internet Shortcut (.url) whose URL line is attacker-controlled is launched with no prompt, while the byte-identical content in an entry named .bat does raise the warning in the same session. A .lnk entry raises the ceiling from launching a program to running a command line, because a Windows shortcut carries arguments: a proof-of-concept shortcut targeting cmd.exe with an attacker-chosen command line executed with no prompt. The shortcut target is not confined to the local disk; the shell also resolved an attacker-named UNC path (fetching a remote payload was only attempted, not demonstrated). No privilege escalation; everything runs as the user who opened the archive.
