My system: Void Linux, 7zip version 24.09
Very serious security risk
When creating a 7z a -p filename.tar.7z "dirname" archive the users input isn't encrypted while typing the password
This only happens with 7zip while creating a password protected archive, No other observations of this within the Terminal or within the system other than 7zip.

After posting I did some research and there is an existing outdated report on 7-zip's sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/bugs/2450/
