Upgrade vim/vim to version 9.2.0357 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection in the tag file processing process. An attacker can execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the running user by crafting a malicious tag file containing backtick syntax in the filename field, which is then executed by the system shell when resolving a tag.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by exercising caution when opening or processing tag files from untrusted sources. Users should avoid loading tag files from unknown or suspicious origins to prevent the execution of arbitrary commands.
