MobaXterm < 26.1 Notepad++ Unquoted Service Path

Published Mar 9, 2026 · Updated Mar 11, 2026 · Assigned by VulnCheck

Description

MobaXterm versions prior to 26.1 contain an uncontrolled search path element vulnerability. The application calls WinExec to execute Notepad++ without a fully qualified executable path when opening remote files. An attacker can exploit the search path behavior by placing a malicious executable earlier in the search order, resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected user.
