IZArc 4.1.8 displays a file's name on the basis of a ZIP archive's Central Directory entry, but launches this file on the basis of a ZIP archive's local file header, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to conduct file-extension spoofing attacks via a modified Central Directory, as demonstrated by unintended code execution prompted by a .jpg extension in the Central Directory and a .exe extension in the local file header.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a file-type deception issue in IZArc 4.1.8. A ZIP can show one filename extension in the archive listing but launch a different underlying file when opened. A user may believe they are opening an image while actually executing a program. Business risk depends on whether staff still use this old archive tool on untrusted ZIP files. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows endpoints where IZArc 4.1.8 remains installed and users handle ZIP archives from email, downloads, or file shares. The supplied affected metadata is incomplete, but the CVE description specifically names IZArc 4.1.8. Treat this as a targeted legacy-software risk, not a broad emergency. Prioritize removal or replacement where users receive external ZIP files, especially in finance, HR, support, and operations teams that routinely open attachments. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for IZArc 4.1.8 or unmanaged archive utilities.; Check vendor guidance for fixed versions or recommended replacement.; Prefer supported archive tools with consistent filename handling..
