==Third-party support==
''Packing'' of ACE files is licensed as proprietary information and only available through WinACE, while ''unpacking'' of ACE files is supported by a number of [[Comparison_of_file_archivers#Archive_format_support|third-party archivers]]. However, virtually all of them (the ones that support ACE 2.x format) do this by using the proprietary "Unace.dll" from e-merge GmbH. Since 2017, there is a [[BSD_licenses|BSD licensed]] python module that supports unpacking of ACE 2.x format archives.<ref>https://pypi.python.org/pypi/acefile</ref>
== Security vulnerabilities ==
In February, 2019 several major security vulnerabilities were found in the unace2.dll library which is used by WinRAR. Since WinACE is [[abandonware]] users are advised against opening ACE archives in WinRAR and possibly other products using this library.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://research.checkpoint.com/extracting-code-execution-from-winrar/|title=Extracting a 19 Year Old Code Execution from WinRAR|date=2019-02-20|website=Check Point Research|language=en-US|access-date=2019-02-26}}</ref>
