    If I'm reading the disclosure correctly, the issue is:

    - Windows Notepad is more than just a plain text editor now.
    - In particular, it has a markdown preview feature, including clickable links.
    - But, it doesn't have full web browser security processes for what to do if you click on a link with a protocol that triggers a local application. It gets treated as if the user was directly running that application.

    So, don't open strange files & then click links. (And update Windows regularly.)
