Hamid Ebadi has reported a vulnerability in various SpeedProject products, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error when extracting files compressed with ZIP (.zip) or JAR (.jar). This makes it possible to have files extracted to arbitrary locations outside the specified directory using the "../" directory traversal sequence.

Successful exploitation requires that the "Create Directories" option is enabled (default).

The vulnerability has been reported in the following products. Other versions may also be affected.
* SpeedCommander 11.01 Build 4450
* ZipStar 5.10
* Squeez 5.10

Solution
Do not extract untrusted ZIP and JAR files.
