Multiple interpretation error in unspecified versions of Grisoft AVG Antivirus allows remote attackers to bypass virus detection via a malicious executable in a specially crafted RAR file with malformed central and local headers, which can still be opened by products such as Winrar and PowerZip, even though they are rejected as corrupted by Winzip and BitZipper.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a way to hide a malicious executable inside a specially malformed RAR archive so Grisoft AVG Antivirus may miss it. Some archive tools could still open the file. The affected AVG versions are not specified, and no severity score is provided. Exposure is most likely limited to organizations still relying on legacy Grisoft AVG Antivirus versions for endpoint, mail, or gateway scanning. The sources do not identify affected versions, platforms, configurations, or fixed releases. Do not treat this as a confirmed active emergency from the provided sources. Prioritize it as a legacy-control risk review, especially where old AVG deployments still protect email, web downloads, or endpoints. Mitigation focus: Inventory any legacy Grisoft AVG Antivirus deployments, including mail gateways and archived systems.; Check AVG or vendor historical guidance for affected versions and fixed releases.; Use maintained antivirus or EDR controls for archive scanning..
