CVE-2026-48092 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. 7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. Versions 9.34 through 26.00 contain a heap memory disclosure via SquashFS fragment offset integer overflow on 32-bit builds. EPSS estimates a 0.32% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description

7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. Versions 9.34 through 26.00 contain a heap memory disclosure via SquashFS fragment offset integer overflow on 32-bit builds. 32-bit integer overflow in the SquashFS ReadBlock function allows an attacker-controlled node.Offset value to bypass the fragment bounds check, causing memcpy to read heap memory preceding the cache buffer into the extracted file. The vulnerability is exploitable only on 32-bit builds of 7-Zip where size_t is 32 bits, allowing the addition offsetInBlock + blockSize to wrap modulo 2³². On 64-bit builds the addition is promoted to 64 bits and the check correctly rejects the input. Version 26.01 patches the issue.
