Vulnerabilities

A path traversal flaw (CWE-35) in the Windows version of WinRAR allows attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution by delivering a specially crafted archive file that writes outside the expected location when it is opened or processed. Because the CVSS 4.0 vector indicates a local attack requiring user interaction, victims are typically infected by extracting or previewing a malicious archive received via phishing, a malicious download, or another delivery channel. A successful attacker gains the privileges of the user running WinRAR, providing an initial foothold that has been used for both espionage and ransomware operations. Anyone running the Windows version of WinRAR — one of the most widely deployed Windows desktop utilities — is affected, and CPE data additionally lists dtSearch as an affected vendor. Exploitation is confirmed in the wild by nation-state actors (e.g., the China-linked Amaranth-Dragon group per related reporting) and criminal actors including ransomware operators; the flaw was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2025-08-12 and carries a near-maximal 94.6% EPSS score.

Do: Update WinRAR to the latest patched release from RARLAB on all Windows endpoints, prioritizing remediation per CISA KEV and BOD 22-01 requirements, and verify that dtSearch deployments bundling the affected component are also updated. Because exploitation requires a user to open or extract a crafted archive, warn users to treat unexpected archive files delivered by email or download with suspicion. Given confirmed ransomware use, hunt across user workstations — not just exposed servers — for suspicious archive-based infections and confirm the patched WinRAR version is installed.

An issue was discovered in DTS Monitoring 3.57.0. The parameter url within the WGET check function is vulnerable to OS command injection (blind).

An insecure permissions in /Taier/API/tenant/listTenant interface in DTStack Taier 1.3.0 allows attackers to view sensitive information via the getCookie method.

A stack exhaustion vulnerability in the search function of dtSearch 7.90.8538.1 and prior allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service condition by sending a specially crafted HTTP request.
