CVE-2026-28801

Arbitrary code execution via imported macro files

Published Mar 6, 2026 · Updated Mar 6, 2026

Code injection in Natro Team Natro Macro before 1.1.0 allows context-dependent attackers to execute code via imported pattern or path files. The pattern and path file handling executes embedded AutoHotkey statements rather than restricting imported content to expected macro data. Exploitation requires a local user to import a malicious shared file, after which the injected code runs silently with that user's access and can read or modify local data.
