Looks like 8.8.1 was May 2025 https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/v881-we-are-with-ukraine/
8.8.2 was June 2025 and has a warning to ignore "false positives" of malware in the update.... Ouch. https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/8.8.2-available-in-1-week-without-certificate/
You might have version 8.8.1 or lower, however it might have tried to order update got the vulnerable package instead and then remained on the older version. I think even if you have the older version that's not a sign that you weren't compromised.
