WinRAR 7.23 addresses CVE-2026-14191, a RAR5 recovery-volume (.rev) handling bug that can cause out-of-bounds writes and may allow remote code execution; users must manually install the update because WinRAR lacks automatic updates, and administrators should consider removing or monitoring WinRAR to reduce risk.
