Advanced WinRAR Path Traversal Exploit Tool

A sophisticated GUI tool for creating malicious RAR archives that exploit the WinRAR path traversal vulnerability (CVE-2025-8088) using ADS and RAR5 header manipulation.

Features

  • ADS Exploitation - NTFS Alternate Data Streams for payload hiding
  • RAR5 Header Manipulation - Direct header patching for path injection
  • GUI Interface - Clean, modern user interface
  • Startup Targeting - Automatic payload placement in Windows startup
  • Custom Decoy Support - Use your own decoy files or default

Requirements

  • Python 3.6+
  • WinRAR CLI
  • customtkinter

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the tool
python gui.py

Usage

  1. Select Payload - Choose your executable file (.exe, .bat, etc.)
  2. Choose Decoy - Select a decoy file or leave empty for default
  3. Name Archive - Enter output RAR filename
  4. Build - Generate the exploit archive

How It Works

The tool creates RAR archives with path traversal using:

  1. ADS Creation - Hides payload in NTFS alternate data streams
  2. RAR Building - Creates base RAR with ADS using WinRAR CLI
  3. Header Patching - Injects traversal path into RAR5 headers
  4. CRC Recalculation - Ensures archive integrity
  5. Output - Delivers malicious RAR ready for extraction

Path Example: ..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\..\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\payload.exe
