high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 460703

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0845, StructMembers() in
 runtime/autoload/ccomplete.vim constructs and executes a vimgrep command using an insufficiently escaped
 typeref: or typename: value from a tags file, allowing an unterminated collection followed by a command
 separator to execute arbitrary Ex and operating-system commands when a user invokes C omni-completion with
 CTRL-X CTRL-O on a member access whose type is resolved from that tags file. This issue is fixed in
 version 9.2.0845. (CVE-2026-73073)

Solution

Update the vim library and its related packages to version 2:9.2.0858-1 or later.
