CVE-2025-55188 PoC — 7-Zip 安全漏洞

介绍

# CVE-2025-55188-7z-exploit
7-Zip Symlink Arbitrary File Write PoC (CVE-2025-55188)
---

#### Description
This proof-of-concept demonstrates CVE-2025-55188, a vulnerability in 7-Zip versions prior to 25.01. The flaw occurs because 7-Zip does not properly handle symbolic links during extraction, allowing a crafted archive to overwrite arbitrary files on the target system.

---

If a victim extracts a malicious archive, the attacker can:

- Overwrite sensitive files (e.g., .bashrc, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, configuration files).
- Potentially gain code execution or unauthorized access.


#### How it Works
An attacker creates a symbolic link pointing to a target file outside the extraction directory.
The link is added to a tar archive along with a payload file.
When the archive is extracted with a vulnerable version of 7-Zip, the symlink is followed, and the payload overwrites the target file.

#### Requirements
7-Zip version older than 25.01.
Target must extract the archive with 7z x or a vulnerable extraction tool.
The extraction location must allow symlink traversal to the intended target file.
#### Usage
```bash
./exploit.sh <payload-file> <symlink-target> <output-archive>
```
- payload-file: File containing the malicious content to write.
- symlink-target: Path to the file you want to overwrite (e.g., ../../.ssh/authorized_keys).
- output-archive: Name of the crafted .7z archive.
### Example:
```bash
./exploit.sh mykey.pub ../../.ssh/authorized_keys exploit.7z
```
