  3. CVE-2025-27423
Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Vim is distributed with the tar.vim plugin, that allows easy editing and viewing of (compressed or uncompressed) tar files. Starting with 9.1.0858, the tar.vim plugin uses the ":read" ex command line to append below the cursor position, however the is not sanitized and is taken literally from the tar archive. This allows to execute shell commands via special crafted tar archives. Whether this really happens, depends on the shell being used ('shell' option, which is set using $SHELL). The issue has been fixed as of Vim patch v9.1.1164

Summary
  • (es) Vim es un editor de texto de línea de comandos de código abierto. Vim se distribuye con el complemento tar.vim, que permite editar y ver fácilmente archivos tar (comprimidos o sin comprimir). A partir de la versión 9.1.0858, el complemento tar.vim utiliza la línea de comandos ex ":read" para agregar debajo de la posición del cursor, sin embargo, no se depura y se toma literalmente del archivo tar. Esto permite ejecutar comandos de shell a través de archivos tar especialmente manipulados. Si esto realmente sucede, depende del shell que se use (opción 'shell', que se establece utilizando $SHELL). El problema se ha solucionado a partir del parche de Vim v9.1.1164
