It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1557 advisory.

  • Buffer Overflow vulnerability in VIM v.8.1.2135 allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the operand parameter. (CVE-2020-20703)

  • vim is vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow (CVE-2021-3903, CVE-2021-3927, CVE-2021-3968, CVE-2021-3973, CVE-2021-3984, CVE-2021-4019, CVE-2021-4136)

  • vim is vulnerable to Use of Uninitialized Variable (CVE-2021-3928)

  • vim is vulnerable to Use After Free (CVE-2021-3974, CVE-2021-4069, CVE-2021-4173, CVE-2021-4187, CVE-2021-4192)

  • vim is vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read (CVE-2021-4166, CVE-2021-4193)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
