How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.23 vim to version 9.2.0272-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vim package and not the vim package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.23 relevant fixed versions and status.

Vim before 9.2.0272 allows code execution that happens immediately upon opening a crafted file in the default configuration, because %{expr} injection occurs with tabpanel lacking P_MLE.
