Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for vim.
CVE-2026-46483[0]:
| Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to 9.2.0479,
| a command injection vulnerability exists in tar#Vimuntar() in
| runtime/autoload/tar.vim when decompressing .tgz archives on Unix-
| like systems. The function builds :!gunzip and :!gzip -d commands
| using shellescape(tartail) without the {special} flag, allowing a
| crafted archive filename to trigger Vim cmdline-special expansion
| and execute shell commands in the user's context. This vulnerability
| is fixed in 9.2.0479.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
