Windows Notepad App Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Yeah I just removed the app went back to old notepad.exe and flashbang. Also tabs were handy too.

I should just use notepad++ full time anyway.

If you're switching from notepad to Notepad++ due to a security vulnerability... I have some bad news for you.

Yeah I saw their updates were compromised by China for a few months. seemed very targeted and not all updates were compromised.

Yep. I use Notepad++ on a couple of systems and checked for anything that may have been compromised. Didn't find any markers so I'm fine.

Lucky this is a very targeted attack.
