"The version of Vim installed on the remote host is prior to 9.2.0847. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability
as referenced in the GHSA-r22p-fhw4-84p2 advisory.

  - 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. (CVE-2026-73076)

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