Echo: vim: security update to 2:9.2.0524-1

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 459543

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 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)

Solution

Update the vim library and its related packages to version 2:9.2.0524-1 or later.
