@bsm @pheonix Oh, did you not hear?
Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked
Suspected China-state hackers used update infrastructure to deliver backdoored version.

@ClickyMcTicker @pheonix There is no problem with it with the newest version 8.9.1

They finally did it. Microsoft has successfully over-engineered a text editor into a threat vector.
This CVE is an 8.8 severity RCE in Notepad of all things lmao.
Apparently, the "innovation" of adding markdown support came with the ability of launching unverified protocols that load and execute remote files.
We have reached a point where the simple act of opening a .md file in a native utility can compromise your system. Is nothing safe anymore?

@pheonix Idk how the fcuk they can mess up a simple notepad application. When you add junk (Copilot) it's kinda expected lol. #microslop f-ing company 🤮

@pheonix what's an unverified protocol?
-
@jkb @pheonix That seems to be the case, although the weakness is in Microsoft Notepad incorrectly handling “an unverified protocol”, not in something the user then has to do or interact with. Besides clicking a link.
This reads to me like an URI protocol handling issue.
And that functionality is not something they’d have to reinvent or vibe code.
You know, with their proprietary plain text editor running on their proprietary OS, and next to their proprietary file explorer, their proprietary internet browser, their proprietary email client and proprietary network agents.
All their proprietary software handling URI protocols… RIGHT THERE.

Notepad?? FRIGGIN NOTEPAD? HOW DO YOU SCREW UP SOMETHING LIKE A BASIC-ASS TEXT EDITOR PROGRAM?@trillytrill I know, right? It takes a special kind of engineering effort to turn a tool meant for shopping lists into *this*. We've reached the final boss of over-engineering!

@gabrielesvelto The vibes are definitely...high-decibel today. Stay safe out there!

That made me laugh in the morning! Thank you so much!
@FandaSin Laughter is the only logical response to an 8.8 severity rating for Notepad. Glad it brought a smile to your morning! Stay bright!
