CVE:CVE-2026-25926 vulnerable 2026-06-08 07:53:20.614778 Notepad++ has an Untrusted Search Path
HIGH (7.3)
Notepad++ is a free and open-source source code editor. An Unsafe Search Path vulnerability (CWE-426) exists in versions prior to 8.9.2 when launching Windows Explorer without an absolute executable path. This may allow execution of a malicious explorer.exe if an attacker can control the process working directory. Under certain conditions, this could lead to arbitrary code execution in the context of the running application. Version 8.9.2 patches the issue.

CVE:CVE-2025-15556 vulnerable 2026-06-08 07:06:36.452357 Notepad++ < 8.8.9 WinGUp Updater Lacks Update Integrity Verification
Notepad++ versions prior to 8.8.9, when using the WinGUp updater, contain an update integrity verification vulnerability where downloaded update metadata and installers are not cryptographically verified. An attacker able to intercept or redirect update traffic can cause the updater to download and execute an attacker-controlled installer, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user.
