CVE-2005-3222 describes a bypass vulnerability in unspecified versions of VBA32 Antivirus. This flaw allows remote attackers to evade virus detection by embedding malicious executables within specially crafted RAR archives that contain malformed central and local headers. While some archiving tools like WinRAR and PowerZip can still open these files, VBA32 Antivirus fails to properly scan them. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.1, indicating a medium severity. An attacker could exploit this remotely with high access complexity, potentially leading to partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE. It is not listed on the CISA KEV catalog.
