Update now: 7-Zip fixes RCE flaw exploitable with malicious archives

7-Zip version 26.02 addresses a remote code execution vulnerability that could be exploited through specially crafted compressed files. The flaw allows attackers to execute code if users open malicious archives created by threat actors.

Why it matters: Any organization or user with 7-Zip installed faces code execution risk from archive files sent via email or downloads; update to version 26.02 immediately.
