> DESCRIPTION

Notepad++ is a free and open-source source code editor. Prior to 8.9.8, Notepad++ incompletely enforces shortcuts.xml HMAC validation because WM_MACRODLGRUNMACRO, the Run a Macro Multiple Times entry point, calls macroPlayback() without the validation used by command(). A tampered shortcuts.xml macro that is blocked through the Macro menu or a shortcut key can therefore execute through the multi-run dialog and invoke internal Notepad++ commands, including commands that launch external programs, in the current user context. This issue is fixed in version 8.9.8.

> CWE DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS

CWE-78: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') - The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. | CWE-345: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity - The product does not sufficiently verify the origin or authenticity of data, in a way that causes it to accept invalid data. | CWE-693: Protection Mechanism Failure - The product does not use or incorrectly uses a protection mechanism that provides sufficient defense against directed attacks against the product.
