CVE-2026-28417 (GCVE-0-2026-28417)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-02-27 21:54 – Updated: 2026-03-02 21:51

Title

Vim has OS Command Injection in netrw

Summary

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.

Severity ?

4.4 (Medium)

CVE-2026-33412 (GCVE-0-2026-33412)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-03-24 19:43 – Updated: 2026-03-26 03:55

Title

Vim affected by Command injection via newline in glob()

Summary

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0202, a command injection vulnerability exists in Vim's glob() function on Unix-like systems. By including a newline character (\n) in a pattern passed to glob(), an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary shell commands. This vulnerability depends on the user's 'shell' setting. This issue has been patched in version 9.2.0202.

Severity ?

5.6 (Medium)
