Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0597, Vim's Python omni-completion executes reconstructed function and class definitions from the current buffer with exec() as part of populating the completion dictionary. Python evaluates function default values, parameter annotations, and class base expressions at definition time, so a hostile buffer can execute attacker-controlled Python expressions during omni-completion. The existing g:pythoncomplete_allow_import mitigation (GHSA-52mc-rq6p-rc7c) does not cover this path, because the attacker-controlled code is not a harvested import/from statement. This issue has been patched in version 9.2.0597.

According to the versions of the vim packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0735, the C omni-completion script in     runtime/autoload/ccomplete.vim interpolates the typeref: or typename: extension field of a tags entry,     without escaping, into a :vimgrep pattern that is run through :execute. Because :vimgrep honors the bar as     a command separator, a crafted tag field can close the search pattern and append an arbitrary Ex command;
    opening a hostile .c file whose project tags file contains such an entry and invoking C omni-completion     runs that command as the editing user. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0735.(CVE-2026-59858)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0736, the PHP omni-completion script in     runtime/autoload/phpcomplete.vim interpolates a class or trait name, taken from the contents of the edited     buffer, into a search() pattern that is run via win_execute() without escaping. A name containing a single     quote can terminate the search() string argument early, and because the bar is honored as an Ex command     separator, the remainder of the name is run as Ex commands; via the :! command this allows arbitrary     operating-system command execution when a victim opens a crafted PHP file and invokes omni-completion.
    This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0736.(CVE-2026-59856)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0653, the tree_count_words() function in     src/spellfile.c fills in the word-count fields of a spell-file word trie by walking it iteratively with a     depth counter. The counter is bounded only by the trie structure itself; it is never checked against the     size of the fixed MAXWLEN-element stack arrays it indexes (arridx[], curi[], wordcount[]). A crafted     .spl/.sug file pair, loaded when the user invokes spell suggestion, can drive the descent arbitrarily     deep, so the function writes past the end of those arrays. This is a stack out-of-bounds write that     corrupts the call frame and crashes the editor. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0653.(CVE-2026-55693)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0699, Vim's Python omni-completion     (runtime/autoload/python3complete.vim and the legacy pythoncomplete.vim) executes reconstructed function     and class definitions from the current buffer with exec() as part of populating the completion dictionary.
    When reconstructing that source, each scope's docstring is inserted verbatim between triple quotes with no     escaping, so a hostile buffer can break out of the triple-quoted literal and execute attacker-controlled     Python during omni-completion. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0699.(CVE-2026-57456)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0698, the single-byte branch of     spell_soundfold_sofo() in src/spell.c translates a word through a spell file's SOFO (sound-folding) byte     map into a caller-owned result buffer. Its copy loop advances the output index ri with no upper bound and     terminates only on the input NUL, writing one byte per input byte into the MAXWLEN-element stack buffer     the caller provides. A word longer than MAXWLEN, passed to soundfold() (or reached via sound-based spell     suggestion) while a SOFO-based spell language is active, therefore writes past the end of that buffer.
    This is a stack out-of-bounds write that corrupts the call frame and crashes the editor. This     vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0698.(CVE-2026-57455)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0663, a Vimscript code injection     vulnerability exists in s:NetrwLocalRmFile() in the netrw plugin     (runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw/autoload/netrw.vim) when deleting a local file from the browser. A filename     derived from the buffer's directory listing is interpolated into an Ex command line passed to :execute     with only the backslash character escaped, allowing a crafted filename containing a bar (|) to terminate     the intended command and execute arbitrary Vimscript, including shell commands via :call system() and :!.
    This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0663.(CVE-2026-55895)

    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.

    An attacker-controlled length field in the spell file's compound section overflows a 32-bit signed integer     multiplication, causing a small buffer to be allocated for a write loop that runs many iterations,     overflowing the heap. Because the 'spelllang' option can be set from a modeline, a text file modeline can     trigger spell file loading if a malicious .spl file has been planted on the runtimepath. This issue has     been patched in version 9.2.0450.(CVE-2026-45130)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0662, the dump_prefixes() function in     src/spell.c walks a spell-file prefix trie iteratively with a depth counter while dumping the prefixes     that apply to a word. The counter is bounded only by the trie structure itself; it is never checked     against the size of the fixed MAXWLEN-element stack arrays it indexes (prefix[], arridx[], curi[]). A     crafted .spl file, loaded when the user dumps the word list, can drive the descent arbitrarily deep, so     the function writes past the end of those arrays.

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0565, the update_snapshot() function     in src/terminal.c copies the visible terminal screen into the scrollback buffer when a snapshot is taken.
    For each screen cell it walks the cell's chars[] array with no upper bound, stopping only when it     encounters a NUL terminator. When a cell legitimately fills all VTERM_MAX_CHARS_PER_CELL (6) slots - a     base character plus five combining marks - the bundled libvterm returns the array without a terminating     NUL, so the loop reads past the fixed six-element array and appends the out-of-bounds values to a buffer     reserved for only six characters. A program whose output is rendered inside a :terminal window can trigger     this with a short byte sequence and no Vim scripting, leading to a crash. This issue has been patched in     version 9.2.0565.(CVE-2026-52859)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0725, the single-byte branch of     spell_soundfold_sal() in src/spell.c translates a word through a spell file's SAL sound-folding rules into     a caller-owned result buffer, but its result writes are guarded with reslen  MAXWLEN, allowing reslen     to reach MAXWLEN before res[reslen] = NUL writes one byte past the end of the MAXWLEN-element stack     buffer. A boundary-length word passed to soundfold(), or reached via sound-based spell suggestion while a     SAL-based spell language is active under a non-multibyte 8-bit encoding, can corrupt the eval_soundfold()     stack frame and crash the editor. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0725.(CVE-2026-59857)

    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)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0671, when Vim opens a file encrypted with     the VimCrypt~04! or VimCrypt~05! method (xchacha20poly1305, requires the +sodium feature) whose body is     shorter than a single libsodium secretstream header, an unsigned length calculation underflows and a     subsequent decryption call reads far past the end of the input buffer, crashing Vim. This vulnerability is     fixed in 9.2.0671.(CVE-2026-57452)

Prior to 9.2.0725, the single-byte branch of     spell_soundfold_sal() in src/spell.c translates a word through a spell file's SAL sound-folding rules into     a caller-owned result buffer, but its result writes are guarded with reslen  MAXWLEN, allowing reslen     to reach MAXWLEN before res[reslen] = NUL writes one byte past the end of the MAXWLEN-element stack     buffer. A boundary-length word passed to soundfold(), or reached via sound-based spell suggestion while a     SAL-based spell language is active under a non-multibyte 8-bit encoding, can corrupt the eval_soundfold()     stack frame and crash the editor. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0725.(CVE-2026-59857)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0699, Vim's Python omni-completion     (runtime/autoload/python3complete.vim and the legacy pythoncomplete.vim) executes reconstructed function     and class definitions from the current buffer with exec() as part of populating the completion dictionary.
    When reconstructing that source, each scope's docstring is inserted verbatim between triple quotes with no     escaping, so a hostile buffer can break out of the triple-quoted literal and execute attacker-controlled     Python during omni-completion. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0699.(CVE-2026-57456)

    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)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0671, when Vim opens a file encrypted with     the VimCrypt~04! or VimCrypt~05!     method (xchacha20poly1305, requires the +sodium feature) whose body is shorter than a single libsodium     secretstream header, an unsigned length calculation underflows and a subsequent decryption call reads far     past the end of the input buffer, crashing Vim. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0671.(CVE-2026-57452)

    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 9.2.0663, a Vimscript code injection     vulnerability exists in s:NetrwLocalRmFile() in the netrw plugin     (runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw/autoload/netrw.vim) when deleting a local file from the browser. A filename     derived from the buffer's directory listing is interpolated into an Ex command line passed to :execute     with only the backslash character escaped, allowing a crafted filename containing a bar (|) to terminate     the intended command and execute arbitrary Vimscript, including shell commands via :call system() and :!.
    This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0663.(CVE-2026-55895)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0597, Vim's Python omni-completion     executes reconstructed function and class definitions from the current buffer with exec() as part of     populating the completion dictionary. Python evaluates function default values, parameter annotations, and     class base expressions at definition time, so a hostile buffer can execute attacker-controlled Python     expressions during omni-completion. The existing g:pythoncomplete_allow_import mitigation (GHSA-52mc-     rq6p-rc7c) does not cover this path, because the attacker-controlled code is not a harvested import/from     statement. This issue has been patched in version 9.2.0597.(CVE-2026-52860)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS vim security advisory.

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

An update of the vim package has been released.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-1862 advisory.

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0280, a path traversal bypass in Vim's     zip.vim plugin allows overwriting of arbitrary files when opening specially crafted zip archives,     circumventing the previous fix for CVE-2025-53906. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0280.
    (CVE-2026-35177)

    Ex command injection in Vim's NetBeans integration before v9.2.0316. The netbeans defineAnnoType command     passes typeName, fg and bg unsanitized to coloncmd(), allowing a malicious NetBeans server to inject     arbitrary Ex commands via '|'. Similarly, specialKeys does not validate key tokens before building a map     command. (CVE-2026-39881)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0383, an OS command injection     vulnerability exists in the netrw standard plugin bundled with Vim. By inducing a user to open a crafted     URL (e.g., using the sftp:// or file:// protocol handlers), an attacker can execute arbitrary shell     commands with the privileges of the Vim process. This issue has been patched in version 9.2.0383.
    (CVE-2026-42307)

    A Vimscript code injection vulnerability exists in `s:NetrwMarkFile()` in thenetrw plugin     (`runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw/autoload/netrw.vim`) whenunmarking files from the global marked-file list.
    A filename derivedfrom the buffer's directory listing is interpolated into a stringexpression passed to     `filter()`, allowing a crafted filename containinga double quote to break out of the quoted string literal     and executearbitrary Vimscript, including shell commands via `execute()` and `:!`.

    ## Description`s:NetrwMarkFile()` maintains two marked-file lists: a buffer-local listand a global list.
    When a file is unmarked, both lists are updated.The buffer-local list uses the safe pattern:

    call filter(s:netrwmarkfilelist_{curbufnr},'v:val != a:fname')

    where `a:fname` is referenced as a variable inside the filter expressionand resolved at evaluation time.
    The global list, however, interpolatedthe filename's value directly into the expression string:

    let dname = netrw#fs#ComposePath(b:netrw_curdir, a:fname)...call filter(s:netrwmarkfilelist, 'v:val !=     '.dname.'')

    When `filter()` receives a string argument, the string is parsed as aVimscript expression.  A filename     containing `` terminates the quotedliteral early, after which the remainder of the filename is evaluated     asVimscript.  Calls such as `execute(!cmd)` inside the injected fragmentrun arbitrary Ex commands with     the privileges of the user running Vim.The filename reaches `s:NetrwMarkFile()` through the `mf` mapping,     whichcalls `s:NetrwGetWord()` to read the filename from the current line ofthe netrw directory listing.
    The injection only triggers on the second`mf` press for a given entry, because the first press takes     the`add()` branch and only the second takes the vulnerable `filter()`branch. (CVE-2026-43961)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0435, an OS command injection     vulnerability exists in Vim's :find command-line completion. When the path option contains backtick-     enclosed shell commands, those commands are executed during file name completion. Because the path option     lacks the P_SECURE flag, it can be set from a modeline, allowing an attacker who controls the contents of     a file to execute arbitrary shell commands when the user opens that file in Vim and triggers :find     completion. This issue has been patched in version 9.2.0435. (CVE-2026-44656)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0450, a heap buffer overflow exists     in read_compound() in src/spellfile.c when loading a crafted spell file (.spl) with UTF-8 encoding active.
    An attacker-controlled length field in the spell file's compound section overflows a 32-bit signed integer     multiplication, causing a small buffer to be allocated for a write loop that runs many iterations,     overflowing the heap. Because the 'spelllang' option can be set from a modeline, a text file modeline can     trigger spell file loading if a malicious .spl file has been planted on the runtimepath. This issue has     been patched in version 9.2.0450. (CVE-2026-45130)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0479, a command injection vulnerability     exists in tar#Vimuntar() inruntime/autoload/tar.vim when decompressing .tgz archives on Unix-like systems.
    The function builds :!gunzip and :!gzip -d commands using shellescape(tartail) without the {special} flag,     allowing a crafted archive filename to trigger Vim cmdline-special expansion and execute shell commands in     the user's context. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0479. (CVE-2026-46483)

    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 9.2.0496, a code injection vulnerability     exists in s:stepmatch() in the cucumber filetype plugin (runtime/ftplugin/cucumber.vim) on Vim builds with     +ruby support. Step-definition patterns read from .rb files under the repository's features/*/ or     stories/*/ directories are embedded into a Ruby Kernel.eval argument without sufficient escaping, allowing     a crafted pattern in an attacker-controlled repository to execute arbitrary Ruby (and through it arbitrary     shell commands) when the user invokes a step-jump mapping ([d, ]d). This issue has been patched in version     9.2.0496. (CVE-2026-47167)

    (CVE-2026-52858)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0565, the update_snapshot() function     in src/terminal.c copies the visible terminal screen into the scrollback buffer when a snapshot is taken.
    For each screen cell it walks the cell's chars[] array with no upper bound, stopping only when it     encounters a NUL terminator. When a cell legitimately fills all VTERM_MAX_CHARS_PER_CELL (6) slots -- a     base character plus five combining marks -- the bundled libvterm returns the array without a terminating     NUL, so the loop reads past the fixed six-element array and appends the out-of-bounds values to a buffer     reserved for only six characters. A program whose output is rendered inside a :terminal window can trigger     this with a short byte sequence and no Vim scripting, leading to a crash. This issue has been patched in     version 9.2.0565. (CVE-2026-52859)

    Vim is an open source, command line text editor.
