| Threat Vector | Description | Mitigation | |---------------|-------------|------------| | | An attacker could replace the original files with malicious executables or scripts. | • Verify the SHA‑256 hash provided by the original source before extracting. • Use a sandbox (e.g., Windows Sandbox, QEMU, Docker) to open the archive first. | | Path traversal (ZIP Slip) | Malicious archive entries may contain file paths like ../../../../etc/passwd that, when extracted, overwrite critical system files. | • Use extraction tools that enforce safe path handling (e.g., bsdtar --strip-components , Python’s zipfile.Path ). • Perform a dry‑run listing ( zipinfo -l ) before extraction. | | Exploitable scripts | Some scripts may contain insecure code (e.g., unsanitized shell commands). | • Review source code before executing. • Run scripts under a non‑privileged user account. | | Phishing via documentation | README or PDF files could embed malicious links. | • Hover over URLs to inspect them, or copy/paste into a safe browser sandbox. | Syakirah.zip
