CVE-2026-47223
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedNanaZip is the 7-Zip derivative intended for the modern Windows experience. From version 3.0.1000.0 to before version 6.0.1698.0, a heap out-of-bounds read exists in the Android Verified Boot (AVB) vbmeta image parser in NanaZip (via the upstream 7-Zip AvbHandler). A 32-bit unsigned integer overflow in the bounds check pos + ht.salt_len > descSize allows an attacker-controlled salt_len field to bypass validation, causing CByteBuffer::CopyFrom to memcpy up to ~4 GiB past the end of a 64. This issue has been patched in stable version 6.0.1698.0 and preview version 6.5.1742.0.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceNanaZip versions 3.0.1000.0 through 6.0.1698.0 contain a heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Android Verified Boot (AVB) vbmeta image parser. A 32-bit unsigned integer overflow in the bounds check `pos + ht.salt_len > descSize` allows an attacker-controlled salt_len field to bypass validation, causing CByteBuffer::CopyFrom to memcpy up to ~4 GiB past the end of a 64-byte buffer.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify NanaZip installation and versionCheck the installed NanaZip version. On Windows, look in Programs and Features, or right-click the NanaZip executable and view Properties > Details > File version. The version format is X.Y.ZZZZ.WWWW.Affected if The installed version falls within 3.0.1000.0 through 6.0.1698.0 (inclusive).
-
Identify AVB vbmeta file processing activityReview recent file operations in NanaZip. The vulnerability triggers when opening or extracting Android Verified Boot (AVB) vbmeta image files, typically with .vbmeta, .img, or similar extensions used in Android system images.Affected if NanaZip has been used to open, extract, or browse AVB vbmeta image files.
-
Check for suspicious vbmeta image filesExamine any vbmeta or Android boot image files that have been opened with NanaZip. These are typically found in Android firmware dumps, custom ROM packages, or system image backups.Affected if Any vbmeta image files from untrusted sources have been processed with NanaZip.
A user is affected if NanaZip version 3.0.1000.0 through 6.0.1698.0 is installed and has been used to open or extract AVB vbmeta image files.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade NanaZip to version 6.0.1698.0 (stable) or 6.5.1742.0 (preview) to patch the integer overflow in the AVB vbmeta parser bounds validation.
6.0.1698.0 (stable) or 6.5.1742.0 (preview)
- Check current NanaZip version by opening the application and navigating to Help > About, or checking the executable properties
