CVE-2025-0411 has a CVSS score of 7/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which products are affected by CVE-2025-0411?

Affected package information for CVE-2025-0411 is not yet fully mapped. Check the official advisory links for details.

How do I patch CVE-2025-0411?

Apply the 7-zip 7-zip security patch or hotfix for CVE-2025-0411 on the affected version, following the vendor advisory for your exact build.

How do I detect CVE-2025-0411 across my infrastructure?

Inventory every 7-zip 7-zip deployment and check each version against the affected-products list above. Because the exploit targets the running system rather than your application code, also watch for remote code execution at the network and runtime layer — O3 flags the exploit behaviour from runtime telemetry and egress traffic even before a vulnerable build is confirmed.

How do I mitigate CVE-2025-0411 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Cut exposure now: restrict the management/admin interface to trusted networks, segment the device, and apply the vendor's recommended configuration mitigations and any WAF/IPS signature. O3's runtime protection blocks the exploit chain at execution, holding the line on unpatched or end-of-life systems until you can patch.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2025-0411?

O3 detects and blocks CVE-2025-0411 exploitation at runtime: eBPF exploit-chain detection, plus L7 egress monitoring that catches the post-exploitation callback and severs the attacker's outbound channel.

Is CVE-2025-0411 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 2 known exploit references for CVE-2025-0411, including 1 in-the-wild exploitation observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2025-0411?

CVE-2025-0411 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 67.1%, placing it in the 99th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. A score above 50% indicates significantly elevated exploitation risk — immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Is CVE-2025-0411 in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog?

Yes. CVE-2025-0411 (7-Zip Mark of the Web Bypass Vulnerability) was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog on 2025-02-06. CISA required all US federal civilian agencies to remediate this vulnerability by 2025-02-27. The required action was: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Being listed in the KEV catalog is the strongest possible confirmation of active exploitation — treat this as a critical priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2025-0411?

CVE-2025-0411 is classified as CWE-693 (CWE-693). This weakness type describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

Which products and versions are affected by CVE-2025-0411?

CVE-2025-0411 affects 7-zip 7-zip; netapp active iq unified manager. Check the affected-products list on this page against your deployed version to confirm exposure.

When was CVE-2025-0411 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2025-0411 was published on January 25, 2025 and was last updated on June 17, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.

Description

The specific flaw exists within the handling of archived files. When extracting files from a crafted archive that bears the Mark-of-the-Web, 7-Zip does not propagate the Mark-of-the-Web to the extracted files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. Was ZDI-CAN-25456.
