WinRAR ADS path-traversal flaw drives ongoing global intrusions

Security researchers warn that WinRAR CVE-2025-8088, a high-severity path-traversal flaw abusing Alternate Data Streams to drop payloads, remains actively exploited by both state-backed groups and financially motivated criminals. The exploit chain hides malicious ADS inside decoy files and uses directory traversal to drop LNK/HTA/BAT/CMD payloads that execute on login. Actors such as RomCom/UNC4895, APT44, TEMP.Armageddon, Turla, and China-linked groups have used it for espionage and malware delivery, while criminals distribute RATs and info-stealers, with exploits marketed by underground actors. The activity underscores exploit commoditization and emphasizes the need to patch WinRAR promptly to mitigate ongoing risk.
