    Is security not a merit?

      Honestly, this is like the first time I heard WinRAR has this big security vulnerability. But I am still planning to stay on WinRAR given its easy to use UI and unlimited free trial.

        There’s barely any CVEs on that page. It’s likely a security researcher did some fuzzing of the executable and found a few issues at once.

        Have you looked at how many vulnerabilities there’s been in things like Windows, MacOS, Chrome, etc?

          I have. The point is that there is no software without vulnerabilities.

            Definitely true, but that conflicts with this:

            Coincidentally, security was one of the reasons to uninstall 7-Zip.

            If you uninstalled software because of security, you wouldn’t have any software left :)
