sorry for the ping, but since most of us deal with zip files here, I thought this was important.
PSA: If you use 7-zip, please check which version you are using.
24.07 and earlier are no longer secure and have a serious vulnerability so be sure to update to 24.08 (released 11-Aug-2024) if you have not updated or downloaded it recently.
Note that 7-zip does not auto-update, and should never be downloaded from anywhere except for from the Developers own website: https://7-zip.org/
