Short explanation
A symbolic link validation flaw in zip-rs zip2 versions 7.2.0 through 9.0.0 allows writing arbitrary files outside the extraction directory.
Attackers can overwrite sensitive files and create unauthorized files with the privileges of the extracting process during extraction operations.
What should be done?
- Follow vendor security advisories
- Update affected library versions
- Apply vendor patch guidelines when available

Show the technical text from the sources
zip is a zip library for Rust that supports reading and writing simple ZIP files. From 7.2.0 until 9.0.0, ZipArchive::extract and ZipArchive::extract_unwrapped_root_dir use safe_prepare_path in src/read/zipfile.rs and simplified_components in src/path.rs to validate symbolic link targets with a lexical prefix comparison rather than resolving each intermediate link. An attacker who knows or can guess the absolute extraction destination can create a chain whose apparent target remains under the destination while an intermediate symlink resolves outside it, allowing attacker-controlled files to be created or overwritten with the extracting process's privileges. On Windows, discarded drive and UNC prefixes can permit a single-link escape when the process has SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege, such as through administrator rights or Developer Mode. This regression is distinct from CVE-2025-29787. This issue is fixed in version 9.0.0.
