Impact
Any ahk code contained inside of a pattern or path file is executed by the macro. Since users commonly share path/pattern files, an attacker could share a file containing malicious code, which is then executed by the program. This code can operate in silence alongside the pattern, running in the background to do whatever the attacker pleases.
Patches
v1.1.0 introduces a warning before importing any pattern for the user to review the code themselves. Future versions will introduce a pattern browser where patterns can be fetched from https://github.com/NatroTeam/Paths-Patterns to allow for easy use
Workarounds
Be cautious and review ALL pattern and path files before you import them. You can use the following sources of patterns and paths that are confirmed to be safe by Natro staff.
