CVE-2009-2261 describes a critical command injection vulnerability affecting PeaZIP versions 2.6.1, 2.5.1, and earlier on Windows. This flaw allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by crafting a malicious .zip archive containing a .txt file with pipe characters and a command in its filename. With a CVSS score of 9.3, this vulnerability is highly severe, requiring medium attack complexity but leading to complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not actively exploited in the wild (no KEV entry), public exploit modules exist, including a Metasploit module, indicating readily available tools for exploitation. Community discussion and media coverage are minimal, which is typical for many older CVEs.
