VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Notepad++ versions prior to 8.9.7
Description The decompress() function in WinGup fails to perform canonical containment validation when joining untrusted ZIP entry names to unzipDestTo. This allows a specially crafted ZIP entry, such as ../mimeTools/mimeTools.dll, to overwrite a DLL in a sibling plugin directory. Consequently, an attacker can execute arbitrary code when Notepad++ loads the affected plugin.
Recommendations Update to version 8.9.7.
