Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source command-line text editor. This command injection vulnerability occurs during tag file processing. A local user could craft a malicious tags file containing backtick syntax in the filename field. When Vim resolves a tag from this file, it executes the embedded command via the system shell, leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the running user.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-04-24 18:02:12 UTC
Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0357, A command injection vulnerability exists in Vim's tag file processing. When resolving a tag, the filename field from the tags file is passed through wildcard expansion to resolve environment variables and wildcards. If the filename field contains backtick syntax (e.g., `command`), Vim executes the embedded command via the system shell with the full privileges of the running user.
