CVE-2026-57233 | BDVDB-2026-360541 Detail
notepad-plus-plusnotepad-plus-plus
Description#
Notepad++ is a free and open-source source code editor. Prior to 8.9.7, the WinGup decompress function joins untrusted ZIP entry names to unzipDestTo without canonical containment validation, allowing an entry such as ../mimeTools/mimeTools.dll to overwrite a DLL in a sibling plugin directory and execute attacker-controlled code when Notepad++ next loads that plugin. This issue is fixed in version 8.9.7.
Impact#
Per CVSS v3.1: confidentiality impact none, integrity impact high, availability impact high. Attack vector: network.
