CVE-2026-55781: NanaZip: Unbounded memory allocation (DoS) in NanaZip UFS parser via unvalidated fs_bsize/fs_fsize superblock fields
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 9/100)
- Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.15% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: M2Team NanaZip 6.5.1749.0.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to M2Team NanaZip 6.5.1749.0 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
NanaZip is the 7-Zip derivative intended for the modern Windows experience. Prior to 6.5.1749.0, NanaZip's UFS and FFS image handler in NanaZip.Codecs.Archive.Ufs.cpp validates the superblock block size only against the MINBSIZE lower bound and does not validate the fs_fsize fragment size, allowing attacker-controlled 32-bit fields to flow into indirect-block, directory, and extraction buffer allocations. A tiny crafted UFS image can force multi-gigabyte allocations during open or extraction, causing memory exhaustion or process termination. This issue is fixed in version 6.5.1749.0.
