#2027 7Zip leaves unprotected file(s) (e.g Text File) in "temp" folder if 7Zip closed before the file(s) (Editor)

[Franz Strassmayr]

Hi there,
7-Zip leaves unprotected file(s) from a Password Protected Archive(s) in the Temp folder after opened it directy from the 7-Zip File Manager and close the 7-Zip File Manager before the Editor (Notepad++ in my case) is closed!

This is a big security issue!

All the file(s), especially from Password Protected Archives, should always be deleted instantly after the 7-Zip File Manager is closed whether the file(s) are opened by another application or not!

Maybe you can fix this issue?

Thanks!

Even if you delete them when the archive is closed, that means they are still stored in Temp while File Manager is open. That is a race condition where a local attacker could still access them.
