🚨 Notepad++ Vulnerability Let Attackers Hijack Network Traffic to Install Malware via Updates

Source: https://t.co/yZFCyByx7v

The popular text editor Notepad++ has addressed a severe security weakness in its update mechanism that could allow attackers to hijack network traffic and push malicious executables to users under the guise of legitimate updates.

Security researchers recently observed suspicious traffic patterns involving WinGUp, the built-in updater used by Notepad++. According to their findings, update requests were, in some cases, being redirected to malicious servers.

Instead of retrieving genuine Notepad++ installers, the updater downloaded compromised binaries, creating a silent malware delivery channel.

@vermaden Very nice article.

In the last output, I noticed the BootOrder indicates the 2nd SSD (da87) will boot first, right? BootOrder: 0008, 0000

In this case it doesn’t matter which SSD wil boot first, but it would be nice to know, in case of other scenarios, how it can be changed?
