</script> tag, Npp will crash and calc.exe will open. Without Explorer
plugin, these still can be exploit. Explorer plugin makes this easier.

NotepadSharp plugin has several stack buffer overflow bug.
In its PluginDefinition.cpp file, there are some char buffer whose length
are 9999. They are all defined on stack.
So if some strcpy/memcpy copy more than 9999 chars to these buffers, it
leads to a stack overflow.
