Doc Text:
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://` protocol handler. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands with the same privileges as the Vim process, leading to potential system compromise.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-02-27 22:02:17 UTC
Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0073, 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 `scp://` protocol handler), an attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands with the privileges of the Vim process. Version 9.2.0073 fixes the issue.
