CVE-2026-28418: Vim

Medium severity, CVSS 5.5. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version 9.2.0074, a heap-based buffer overflow out-of-bounds read exists in Vim's Emacs-style tags file parsing logic. When processing a malformed tags file, Vim can be tricked into reading up to 7 bytes beyond the allocated memory boundary. Version 9.2.0074 fixes the issue.

Affected products

• Vim Vim: before 9.2.0074 (fixed in 9.2.0074)
