CVE-2026-28208: Junrar has an arbitrary file write due to backslash Path Traversal bypass in LocalFolderExtractor on Linux/Unix

February 27, 2026

A backslash path traversal vulnerability in LocalFolderExtractor allows an attacker to write arbitrary files with attacker-controlled content anywhere on the filesystem when a crafted RAR archive is extracted on Linux/Unix. This can often lead to remote code execution (e.g., overwriting shell profiles, source code, cron jobs, etc).
