WinRAR 7.13 Update August 2025

1. Another directory traversal vulnerability, differing from that affecting 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 your specified path.

The Unix versions of RAR, UnRAR, portable UnRAR source code and UnRAR library, and for RAR for Android, are not affected.

We are thankful to Anton Cherepanov, Peter Kosinar, and Peter Strycekfrom ESET for letting us know about this security issue.

 

2. Bugs fixed:

a) WinRAR 7.12 “Import settings from file” command failed to restore settings, saved by WinRAR versions preceding 7.12;

b) WinRAR 7.12 set a larger than specified recovery size for compression profiles, created by WinRAR 5.21 and older.
