Editors typically provide a way to embed editor configuration commands
(aka modelines) which are executed once a file is opened, while
harmful commands are filtered by a sandbox mechanism. It was
discovered that the 'source'command (used to include and execute
another file) was not filtered, allowing shell command execution with
a carefully crafted file opened in Vim.");
