However, from a practical perspective, deceiving users into performing the required action shouldn't be overly challenging, and given the vast size of WinRAR's user base

Excuse me, but "vast" size of WinRAR's user base? I didn't know WinRAR even had any users left.

Well, even FAR manager which they've open-souced long time ago is still maintained ๐Ÿ˜€ Good thing they didn't discover this bug in 2000s!

That looks quite interesting, seems like they've even got quite an extensive list of plugins - looks like may be even better than Midnight Commander. :o

I'm still using sweet FAR Manager, absolute baller of a software.

Ah, FAR manager.

I used it last time around... 15 years ago to apply VKP patches on my Sony Ericsson phones :P like making my K750i into a 'W750i' with W800i software, adding GFX and Acoustic patches...
