Description

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.

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.
