Hello,
I am a security researcher and I have Discovered a security vulnerability in the Code::Blocks IDE 17.12 (newest version). It's a high severity Remote Code Execution vulnerability.
Where do I report it?
The first thing you'd want to do is see if it's been fixed in the years since the 17.12 release. Newer pre-release builds are here:

PM me. But I doubt there is anything "serious"/fixable. After all C::B is executing compilers/linkers which generate executables, so it is insecure by nature :)

Remote Code Execution vulnerability
I wonder though how can you access something remotely of CodeBlocks? After all it is a desktop application without any server functionality?

I can see the non-working cb_koders plugin being a possible vector.
Or, the devpack plugin. Which is almost bad enough to call non-working.
