CVE-2026-47162 is a Vimscript code-injection vulnerability in the netrw plugin's s:NetrwBookHistSave() function, affecting Vim versions before 9.2.0495. When netrw serializes browsed directory paths into its history file, it interpolates filesystem-derived directory names into single-quoted Vimscript literals without escaping embedded single quotes. An attacker-controlled directory name can therefore terminate the intended literal and inject arbitrary Vimscript. The injected code executes when Vim subsequently sources the netrw history file and can invoke shell commands.
