Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection via the path option during command-line completion. An attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands by crafting a file with a modeline that sets the path option to include backtick-enclosed shell commands, which are then executed when a user opens the file and triggers :find completion.
