Summary

Notepad++ v8.8.3 has a DLL hijacking vulnerability, which can replace the original DLL file to execute malicious code. NOTE: this is disputed by multiple parties because the behavior only occurs when a user installs the product into a directory tree that allows write access by arbitrary unprivileged users.

Does this affect you?

Add your gear to cvedb and we'll alert you only when a vendor you run ships something exploited.
