I went through the list of emails about this topic and am a little
confused why it is being such a fuss. Apologies in advance if i'm
talking out of my ass but, at least according to my understanding,
there is no way for Vim to be immune to content pasted into it.
I agree. The real security problem is that the browser allows hidden
data into the system clipboard without the user being aware of it. In
fact, as far as I know, browsers allow the clipboard to be silently
modified by client-side scripting.
I also read through this thread and as far as I know the question
about whether this affects both console Vim and gVim was never
answered. If it affects gVim, I agree there's potentially an issue
that can be fixed, but if it's only console Vim, this is likely not
resolvable.
