    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0846, set_sofo() in src/spellfile.c reuses
    sl_sal_first[] without resetting values left by set_sal_first(), so a crafted spell file containing an
    SN_SAL section before an SN_SOFO section causes under-counted mapping lists and attacker-influenced writes
    beyond a heap allocation. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0846. (CVE-2026-73072)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0841, prop_add_one() in src/textprop.c uses
    the proplen value from get_text_props() to increment a uint16_t property count beyond 0xffff, wrapping the
    count to zero and copying existing text-property records into a heap allocation sized for none of them.
    This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0841. (CVE-2026-73074)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0847, runtime/autoload/vimball.vim allows a
    crafted vimball member named .VimballRecord to overwrite the installation record with attacker-chosen
    commands. When vimball#RmVimball() later processes the matching record entry, the stored Ex commands,
    including operating-system commands invoked through :!, execute with the privileges of the user running
    Vim. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0847. (CVE-2026-73076)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0839, the runtime/ftplugin/sh.vim,
    runtime/ftplugin/zsh.vim, and runtime/ftplugin/ps1.vim filetype plugins pass attacker-controlled Visual-
    mode selections from K through keywordprg commands without safely separating shell arguments.
    fnameescape() and PATH_ESC_CHARS do not neutralize shell metacharacters before ShKeywordPrg,
    ZshKeywordPrg, or GetHelp invokes bash, zsh, or PowerShell, allowing arbitrary operating-system commands
    to execute with the privileges of the user running Vim. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0839.
    (CVE-2026-73077)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0840, runtime/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim loads
    netrw and runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw/autoload/netrw.vim constructs Bookmarks, History, and Targets menu
    entries by interpolating attacker-controlled directory paths into executed :menu commands.
    s:NetrwBookmarkMenu(), s:NetrwTgtMenu(), g:netrw_menu_escape, EX_TRLBAR, and netrw#MakeTgt() fail to
    neutralize the | command separator or single quotes at five construction sites, allowing a crafted path
    browsed or bookmarked in GUI Vim to execute arbitrary Ex and operating-system commands. This issue is
    fixed in version 9.2.0840. (CVE-2026-73078)
