Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for vim.

CVE-2026-52858[0]:
| Vim is an open source, command line text editor. Prior to version
| 9.2.0561, the Python omni-completion script in python3complete.vim
| for Vim with the +python3 interpreter enabled (and the legacy
| pythoncomplete.vim for builds with the +python interpreter) executes
| the import and from statements found in the current buffer through
| Python's import machinery. Because the buffer's working directory is
| on sys.path, opening a hostile .py file with a sibling Python
| package and invoking omni-completion runs that package's top-level
| code as the editing user. This issue has been patched in version
| 9.2.0561.
