Vim: Arbitrary Code Execution via Netrw Menu Construction

...

CVE-2026-73070

A flaw was found in Vim. The socket server backend accepts an unbounded number of client connections, causing file descriptors to overflow internal data structures. A local process able to connect to the server socket can exploit this to corrupt stack memory or terminate the Vim server. This can...

CVE-2026-73074

An integer overflow in Vim's propaddone function allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service or potentially execute arbitrary code by adding an excessive number of text properties to a single line. Mitigation Do not run untrusted Vim scripts or plugins that call propadd in an unbounded...

CVE-2026-73076

A vulnerability in Vim allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by crafting a malicious .VimballRecord file that injects OS commands executed when processed by the vimballRmVimball function. Mitigation Avoid installing or removing vimballs from untrusted sources. This vulnerability...

SUSE CVE-2026-73070

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0842, the socket server backend in src/socketserver.c accepts unbounded client connections in socketserveraccept, causing descriptors to overflow fdset structures in src/channel.c and fixed-size struct pollfd arrays in src/osunix.c,...

SUSE CVE-2026-73071

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. From 9.2.0511 until 9.2.0844, jsondecodeitem in src/json.c can retain a stale pointer after jsondecodestring invokes channelfill to refill and free the current buffer, causing the error path to read freed memory instead of reader-jsbuf +...

SUSE CVE-2026-73072

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0846, setsofo in src/spellfile.c reuses slsalfirst without resetting values left by setsalfirst, so a crafted spell file containing an SNSAL section before an SNSOFO section causes under-counted mapping lists and attacker-influenced...

SUSE CVE-2026-73074

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0841, propaddone in src/textprop.c uses the proplen value from gettextprops to increment a uint16t property count beyond 0xffff, wrapping the count to zero and copying existing text-property records into a heap allocation sized for non...

SUSE CVE-2026-73075

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. From 9.2.0469 until 9.2.0843, popupmarkopacityzindex in src/popupwin.c can use a negative wwinrow for a text-property-anchored popup with clipwindow and opacity, indexing before the screen array instead of accounting for wpopuptopoff and causing an...

SUSE CVE-2026-73076

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0847, runtime/autoload/vimball.vim allows a crafted vimball member named .VimballRecord to overwrite the installation record with attacker-chosen commands. When vimballRmVimball later processes the matching record entry, the stored Ex...

SUSE CVE-2026-73077

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0839, the runtime/ftplugin/sh.vim, runtime/ftplugin/zsh.vim, and runtime/ftplugin/ps1.vim filetype plugins pass attacker-controlled Visual-mode selections from K through keywordprg commands without safely separating shell arguments...

SUSE CVE-2026-73078

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0840, runtime/plugin/netrwPlugin.vim loads netrw and runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw/autoload/netrw.vim constructs Bookmarks, History, and Targets menu entries by interpolating attacker-controlled directory paths into executed :menu...

CVE-2026-73077

A vulnerability in Vim's shell script plugins sh.vim, zsh.vim, ps1.vim allows arbitrary code execution if a user selects maliciously crafted text in Visual mode and triggers a keyword lookup, due to improperly escaped shell metacharacters. Mitigation To mitigate this vulnerability, users can...

CVE-2026-73078

A flaw in Vim's netrw plugin fails to sanitize special characters in directory paths when creating GUI menu entries. Browsing or bookmarking a maliciously crafted path in GUI Vim allows attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands as the running user. Mitigation To mitigate this issue, avoid browsi...
