CVE-2024-30370
CVE-2024-30370 is a WinRAR Mark-Of-The-Web (MOTW) Bypass Vulnerability allowing attackers to circumvent security measures. This vulnerability enables remote attackers to bypass the Mark-Of-The-Web protection on WinRAR installations. The vulnerability lies in the archive extraction functionality, where a malicious archive can create arbitrary files without the MOTW flag. Successfully exploiting this vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the user's context, especially when combined with other vulnerabilities. Although the CVSS score is 0, indicating low base severity, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 30 suggests a moderate level of risk based on real-world threat intelligence. While not immediately critical (SVRS > 80), continuous monitoring is recommended, as the "In The Wild" tag indicates active exploitation.
