The vulnerability is caused due to insufficient sanitation while processing the names of archived files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary commands by tricking a user into opening a file having a name with shell metacharacters contained in e.g. a ZIP archive. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.6.1 for Windows. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not process untrusted archives.
