CVSS v2.0

6.6

Medium

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Vim versions prior to 9.1.1198

Description: The issue concerns potential data loss when using Vim with the zip.vim plugin and specially crafted zip files. The impact is considered medium as it requires a user to view the malicious archive with Vim and then interact with it by pressing 'x' on a strange filename.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 9.1.1198, update to Vim patch v9.1.1198 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of zip.vim with untrusted zip files until the update is applied.
