From the post:
>Microsoft has fixed a "remote code execution" vulnerability in Windows 11 Notepad that allowed attackers to execute local or remote programs by tricking users into clicking specially crafted Markdown links, without displaying any Windows security warnings.
With the release of Windows 1.0, Microsoft introduced Notepad, a simple, easy-to-use text editor that, over the years, became popular for quickly jotting notes, reading text files, creating to-do lists, or acting as a code editor.
For those who needed a rich text format (RTF) editor that supported different fonts, sizes, and formatting tools like bold, italics, and lists, you could use Windows Write and later WordPad.
