[QUOTE="Local Host, post: 996577"] That website is spreading false information however, the source of 7z is publicly available, [URL='https://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/files/']7-Zip - Browse Files at SourceForge.net[/URL] You can download 7z from direct links in the official website too, regardless, 7z was never packed with bundleware, always been a simple setup file that extracts 7z. [B]SourceForge[/B] is a legit website that developers been using for decades to share their files and sources (this was long before GitHub even existed). [URL='https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-29072']CVE-2022-29072[/URL] is false and was confirmed by multiple specialists is not a real exploit (you can see it was dispusted), the guy who leaked it is pretty much known as fraud. [URL='https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-5996']CVE-2018-5996[/URL] which he also claims is still an issue in 7z, was patched back in version 18 (same year exploit was revealed). It's clear that guy is just looking to advertise PeaZip, none of his arguments pan out and is full of misinformation, this type of toxic behaviour just makes me wanna use PeaZip less. [/QUOTE]
