They’re not sanitizing their inputs properly. Little Bobby Tables strikes again!

According to commenters on HN it was a faulty regex.
Looks more like they didn’t sanitize the input properly, causing the top result Notepad++ be interpreted as a regex.

Definitely a you problem
That’s weird. So does notepad++
Just did it. literally the first result was for notepad ++
