Tbh not having a #packagemanager seems kind of barbaric to me.

L'hébergeur du site de Notepad++ a été corrompu, par des acteurs d'état chinois.
Notez bien : Notepad++ est un projet open-source, installé sur l'immense majorité des machines Windows, et PAS UNE FOUTUE ENTREPRISE UTILISATRICE NE CONTRIBUE FINANCIEREMENT AU PROJET.
Donc le mec est littéralement tout seul pour faire face à une attaque apparement orchestrée par un état. L'open-source, c'est beau, mais ce genre de situation en es… https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-update/ #piratage #notepad

#Notepad++ hacked - 2026-02-02

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-update/

"A China-linked threat actor known as Lotus Blossom has been attributed with medium confidence to the recently discovered compromise of the infrastructure hosting Notepad++.

The attack enabled the state-sponsored hacking group to deliver a previously undocumented backdoor codenamed Chrysalis to users of the open-source editor, according to new findings from Rapid7.

The development comes shortly after Notepad++ maintainer Don Ho said that a compromise at the hosting provider level allowed threat actors to hijack update traffic starting June 2025 and selectively redirect such requests from certain users to malicious servers to serve a tampered update by exploiting insufficient update verification controls that existed in older versions of the utility.

The weakness was plugged in December 2025 with the release of version 8.8.9. It has since emerged that the hosting provider for the software was breached to perform targeted traffic redirections until December 2, 2025, when the attacker's access was terminated. Notepad++ has since migrated to a new hosting provider with stronger security and rotated all credentials."

Notepad++ supply chain attack breakdown

The article details a sophisticated supply chain attack on Notepad++ that occurred from July to October 2025. Attackers compromised the update infrastructure, deploying various malicious payloads through three distinct infection chains. The attack targeted individuals and organizations in Vietnam, El Salvador, Australia, and the Philippines. The infection methods evolved over time, using NSIS installers, Metasploit downloaders, and Cobalt Strike Beacons. The attackers employed clever techniques to evade detection, including the abuse of legitimate software and the use of multiple C2 servers. The article provides a comprehensive timeline of the attack, describes the different execution chains, and offers guidance on detecting traces of the attack.

Regarding the #Notepad++ backdoor: I just whipped up a quick Windows batch script that I used to search my system for the known compromised files of the Chrysalis backdoor.
