Application crash via unbounded note paste
Published May 10, 2026 · Updated May 10, 2026
Denial of service in memono Notepad 4.2 allows attackers to crash the iOS application by pasting oversized text into a new note. The note editor accepts two pastes of a 350,000-character buffer without a length limit and terminates after excessive memory allocation. Exploitation requires local interaction; App Store identifier 906470619 belongs to Dennis Ebbinghaus, not Adylitica's Memo Notepad.
