Affected Software: Notepad++ versions prior to 8.8.9 using the WinGUp updater.

Vulnerability Type: Update integrity verification bypass leading to arbitrary code execution.

Description: The WinGUp updater fails to properly verify the integrity of update metadata, allowing an attacker who can intercept or redirect update traffic to serve a malicious installer that will be executed with user privileges.

I also included exploit.py for reference (Man-in-the-Middle Proxy) and an HTB-Friendly version for fellow players (DNS Spoofing Simulation).
