This sounds great for social engineering but yeah it’s a stretch to say exposed to remote attackers like it’s 0click… and I’d imagine detection would be pretty easy if you monitor filewrites to sensitive locations or sensitive file extensions by 7zip.
POCs are described elsewhere as a pretty standard Get malicious file run through 7zip >>> Directory Traversal by spamming /…/ >>> Drop a malicious DLL in System32 >>> Scheduled task to run the payload.
I bet this will be mostly just for shitting RATs onto machines via social engineering.Though there might be a nastier opportunity if a server is accepting zipped archives and running automated 7zip commandline extraction via script. That could get ugly.
