Russian hackers are exploiting multiple WinRAR vulnerabilities, including CVE-2025-8088, to attack businesses. The latest exploit uses alternative data streams and directory traversal techniques to place malicious DLL files in system directories, allowing attackers to execute code when legitimate applications load. These logic-based vulnerabilities are easier to exploit than memory corruption bugs because they don't require complex memory manipulation, just crafted file structures with specific properties.

So that’s why it’s free..
