🚨 Notepad++ 8.9.9 released, fixing six security vulnerabilities that could allow privilege escalation and code execution
Notepad++ has released version 8.9.9 to address six security vulnerabilities affecting Windows message handling, memory management, and plugin functionality.
One flaw could allow a local attacker to execute plugin commands through an elevated Notepad++ instance under specific conditions.
Other vulnerabilities include heap memory disclosure, out-of-bounds access, and a buffer overflow in the MIME Tools plugin that could potentially lead to code execution.
None of the six vulnerabilities currently have assigned CVE identifiers. Users are encouraged to update to version 8.9.9 and ensure the MIME Tools plugin is updated to version 3.2.
