"The version of Vim installed on the remote host is prior to 9.2.0076. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the GHSA-rvj2-jrf9-2phg advisory.

  - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0076, a heap-based buffer overflow 
    WRITE and an out-of-bounds READ exist in Vim's terminal emulator when processing maximum combining 
    characters from Unicode supplementary planes. Version 9.2.0076 fixes the issue. (CVE-2026-28420)

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