Prior to 9.2.0847, runtime/autoload/vimball.vim allows a crafted vimball member named .VimballRecord to overwrite the installation record with attacker-chosen commands. When vimball#RmVimball() later processes the matching record entry, the stored Ex commands, including operating-system commands invoked through :!, execute with the privileges of the user running Vim. This issue is fixed in version 9.2.0847.\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.\n\n## Vendor advisories\n\n- **RHSA-2026:66336** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 10), Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS (v. 10) · released 2026-09-10 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:66336)\n- **RHSA-2026:66348** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 8), Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS (v. 8) · released 2026-09-10 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:66348)\n- **RHSA-2026:66366** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream (v. 9), Red Hat Enterprise Linux BaseOS (v. 9) · released 2026-09-10 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:66366)\n- **Red Hat VEX** · Important · affected: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 · no fix planned: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 · updated 2026-09-21 · [vex](https://security.access.redhat.com/data/csaf/v2/vex/2026/cve-2026-73076.json)\n- **RHSA-2026:68711** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7 ELS) · released 2026-09-17 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:68711)\n- **RHSA-2026:67956** · Red Hat · fixed in: Red Hat Update Infrastructure 5 · released 2026-09-16 · [advisory](https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:67956)","depth":"twilight","depthScore":46,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":46.2,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
