CVE-2026-47167 is a code injection vulnerability in Vim's cucumber filetype plugin prior to version 9.2.0496. On builds compiled with Ruby support, the plugin function s:stepmatch() reads step-definition patterns from Ruby files in a repository's Cucumber feature or story directories and incorporates those patterns into an argument to Ruby Kernel.eval without sufficient escaping. A malicious repository can therefore supply a crafted pattern that causes unintended Ruby code to be evaluated when a user invokes a step-jump mapping.
