Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0663, a Vimscript code injection vulnerability exists in s:NetrwLocalRmFile() in the netrw plugin (runtime/pack/dist/opt/netrw/autoload/netrw.vim) when deleting a local file from the browser. A filename derived from the buffer's directory listing is interpolated into an Ex command line passed to :execute with only the backslash character escaped, allowing a crafted filename containing a bar (|) to terminate the intended command and execute arbitrary Vimscript, including shell commands via :call system() and :!. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0663.
A flaw was found in Vim, specifically within the netrw plugin. A local user could exploit a Vimscript code injection vulnerability by attempting to delete a specially crafted local file from the browser. This crafted filename, containing a bar character, could be interpolated into an Ex command, allowing for the execution of arbitrary Vimscript, including shell commands. This could lead to arbitrary code execution on the affected system.
Отчет
This is an Important vulnerability in Vim's netrw plugin that could lead to arbitrary code execution. A local attacker could exploit this flaw by enticing a user to delete a specially crafted file within the netrw file browser, allowing for the injection and execution of arbitrary Vimscript commands, including shell commands. This risk is mitigated by the requirement for local user interaction and a specific sequence of actions.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this vulnerability, users should avoid deleting untrusted or suspicious files directly from Vim's netrw file browser. Exercise caution when interacting with files from unknown or untrusted sources within the editor environment.
