    Bogus CVE. Spam.

    From the PoC:

    Replace the original DLL (such as Notepad++\plugins\NppExport\NppExport.dll) with a DLL file with the same name containing malicious code

    If you replace parts of a program with malware then you can get malware to run. This is true of all software.

      If you login to your own account and post “this account is hacked”, you’ve been pwned.
