Vim versions before 9.2.0073 contain an OS command injection vulnerability in the bundled netrw standard plugin. A crafted URL handled by netrw, including through the scp protocol handler, can cause attacker-controlled input to be interpreted as shell commands. Successful exploitation executes commands with the privileges of the Vim process.
