"The CentOS Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
TuxCare CENTOS6:CLSA-2026:1782153265 advisory.

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0495, a Vimscript code injection
    vulnerability exists in s:NetrwBookHistSave() in the netrw plugin
    (runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw/autoload/netrw.vim) when serializing browsed directory paths to the history
    file ~/.vim/.netrwhist. A directory name derived from the filesystem is interpolated into a single-quoted
    Vimscript string literal without escaping embedded single quotes, allowing a crafted directory name to
    break out of the string context and execute arbitrary Vimscript, including shell commands via system() and
    :!, the next time the history file is sourced. This issue has been patched in version 9.2.0495.
    (CVE-2026-47162)

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0561, the Python omni-completion
    script in python3complete.vim for Vim with the +python3 interpreter enabled (and the legacy
    pythoncomplete.vim for builds with the +python interpreter) executes the import and from statements found
    in the current buffer through Python's import machinery. Because the buffer's working directory is on
    sys.path, opening a hostile .py file with a sibling Python package and invoking omni-completion runs that
    package's top-level code as the editing user. This issue has been patched in version 9.2.0561.
    (CVE-2026-52858)

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