vim: Vim: Out-of-bounds Write in Spell File Word Count

A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source command-line text editor. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into loading a specially crafted spell file. When the user invokes spell suggestion, the editor attempts to process the malicious file, leading to an out-of-boun...

vim: command injection when decompressing .tgz archives

A flaw was found in Vim. When decompressing .tgz archives, the Vimuntar function builds shell commands using shellescape without the special flag. This allows a specially crafted archive filename to trigger Vim cmdline-special expansion and execute arbitrary commands in the context of the current...

vim: Vim: Arbitrary Code Execution via crafted directory names

A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source text editor. This vulnerability, located in the netrw plugin, involves a code injection issue when the editor processes directory paths. A malicious directory name, if crafted by an attacker, could bypass security measures and allow for the execution of...

vim: Vim: Arbitrary code execution via OS command injection in the netrw plugin

A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source command-line text editor. Specifically, an operating system OS command injection vulnerability exists in the netrw standard plugin. A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted URL, such as one using the scp://...

vim: arbitrary command execution via modeline sandbox bypass

A flaw was found in Vim. A modeline is used to set specific editor options directly from a text file.
