Your comment reminded me of this: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/notepad-7.3.3-fix-cia-hac...

I doubt this was intentional at first, but the fact that they don't want to fix it is very fishy.

That is a very different issue, as there the concept is that the original file in the original location is being replaced. As is stated in that post, at that point the person could just as easily replace the program itself with a modified version of the entire program. That is not a security issue in the software.
