Timecodes:

heads up a severe vulnerability has been

found in the extremely popular 7-Zip

program on Windows if you have this

installed it has not been patched yet

but there is a current workaround which

is to go to the installation directory

and delete the file called

7-zip.chm and then you're good it won't

affect the program's usability at all

you just won't be able to access the

help files for 7-Zip that's because the

way the exploit works is it involves

creating a special malicious file and

dragging it into the help contents page

and as a result of some bug that

malicious file will have its privileges

escalated to the system level where it

can do way more damage but again if you

just delete that file I mentioned before

you'll be fine and also be on the

lookout for some kind of patch for 7-Zip
