WinRAR is a popular program that extracts compressed files. It’s been around for years, and all this time it’s had a hidden vulnerability. Attackers can engineer compressed files so that they extract malware directly to the Windows operating system without warning. A host of malware is taking advantage of this newly-revealed vulnerability, so if you own WinRAR, you should patch it right away. NOTE: WinRAR does not patch automatically – you have to manually update your software to be safe.
