A few words about 7-Zipħ-Zip is a free and open-source file archiver with high compression based on bzip2, PPMd, LZMA2, and LZMA algorithms. The vulnerability has not been fixed yet, as the latest version of the application 21.07 has been released on. If you have any questions about this information, please submit a Technical Support ticket.A couple of days ago a new vulnerability was discovered by GitHub user Kagancapar in the popular 7-Zip file archiver, which allows gaining administrator privileges on Windows. These steps will produce an encrypted Zip file which will display only the name of the first Zip file when it is opened. You can use the No Compression setting for the second Zip file. Zip files will not compress further when added to another Zip file. You should click the From PC or Cloud button on the Create/Share (Edit) Tab instead. When you drop a Zip file into an open WinZip window, the assumption made by the program is that you want to open that Zip file. * Note: You cannot add one Zip file to another by using drag and drop in an open WinZip window.

You may want to permanently delete the first, unencrypted Zip file created in step 2 at this point (press Shift+Delete).

Create a new Zip file, add* the first Zip file to it, and Encrypt this time.

Save the Zip file with a name meaningful only to you.

(Use any compression setting you choose with this step) To hide the names of the files in your encrypted Zip file, you can double zip them. However, the user will not be able to extract or view the encrypted files unless he or she enters the correct password to decrypt them. Therefore, any user can open a Zip file and see the list of files even when those files are encrypted. The Zip file format is such that the files added to a Zip file are encrypted, whereas the Zip file itself is not.
