In German from another source:

Quote:ACE-Format: Kritische Lücke in WinRAR erst nach 14 Jahren entdeckt
Translate :ACE format: Critical vulnerabilities in WinRAR not discovered until 14 years later
Source: https://www.computerbase.de/2019-02/ace-...ke-winrar/

That shows it's sometimes possible to discover critical vulnerabilities in programs and systems.

Only "sometimes by chance" or issues such vulnerabilities can be detected during intensively analysis.
