Patch Radar priority: High. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-57453 - Priority: High - CVSS: 7.3 (Moderate) - EPSS: 0.0021 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Jun 25, 2026 - Weakness: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection') - Vendor advisory: https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-57453 ## Description Vim is an open source, command line text editor. From 9.1.1784 until 9.2.0678, when the bundled zip plugin autoload/zip.vim falls back to PowerShell to browse, read, extract, update or delete entries in a zip archive, it builds the PowerShell command by inserting archive entry names that are quoted only for the shell, not for PowerShell. A crafted entry name can break out of the intended string context and cause PowerShell to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user running Vim, triggered by opening, viewing or extracting the archive. This vulnerability is fixed in 9.2.0678. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | vim Debian 14 | 2:9.2.0782-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2026-57453](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2026-57453.md) | Jun 25, 2026 | | Linux | vim Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (resolute) | 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6 | [vim 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-resolute-vim-2-9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6.md) | Jun 25, 2026 | | Linux | vim-common Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (resolute) | 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6 | [vim-common 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-resolute-vim-common-2-9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6.md) | Jun 25, 2026 | | Linux | vim-common amzn 2023 | 2:9.2.725-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2026-1940](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1940.md) | Jul 20, 2026 | | Linux | vim-data amzn 2023 | 2:9.2.725-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2026-1940](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1940.md) | Jul 20, 2026 | | Linux | vim-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 2:9.2.725-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2026-1940](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1940.md) | Jul 20, 2026 | | Linux | vim-debugsource amzn 2023 | 2:9.2.725-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2026-1940](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1940.md) | Jul 20, 2026 | | Linux | vim-default-editor amzn 2023 | 2:9.2.725-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2026-1940](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1940.md) | Jul 20, 2026 | | Linux | vim-enhanced amzn 2023 | 2:9.2.725-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2026-1940](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1940.md) | Jul 20, 2026 | | Linux | vim-enhanced-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 2:9.2.725-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2026-1940](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1940.md) | Jul 20, 2026 | | Linux | vim-filesystem amzn 2023 | 2:9.2.725-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2026-1940](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1940.md) | Jul 20, 2026 | | Linux | vim-gtk3 Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (resolute) | 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6 | [vim-gtk3 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-resolute-vim-gtk3-2-9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6.md) | Jun 25, 2026 | | Linux | vim-gui-common Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (resolute) | 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6 | [vim-gui-common 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-resolute-vim-gui-common-2-9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6.md) | Jun 25, 2026 | | Linux | vim-minimal amzn 2023 | 2:9.2.725-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2026-1940](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1940.md) | Jul 20, 2026 | | Linux | vim-minimal-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 2:9.2.725-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2026-1940](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1940.md) | Jul 20, 2026 | | Linux | vim-motif Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (resolute) | 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6 | [vim-motif 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-resolute-vim-motif-2-9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6.md) | Jun 25, 2026 | | Linux | vim-nox Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (resolute) | 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6 | [vim-nox 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-resolute-vim-nox-2-9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6.md) | Jun 25, 2026 | | Linux | vim-runtime Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (resolute) | 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6 | [vim-runtime 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-resolute-vim-runtime-2-9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6.md) | Jun 25, 2026 | | Linux | vim-tiny Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (resolute) | 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6 | [vim-tiny 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-resolute-vim-tiny-2-9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6.md) | Jun 25, 2026 | | Linux | xxd Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS (resolute) | 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6 | [xxd 2:9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-resolute-xxd-2-9.1.2141-1ubuntu4.6.md) | Jun 25, 2026 | | Linux | xxd amzn 2023 | 2:9.2.725-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2026-1940](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1940.md) | Jul 20, 2026 | | Linux | xxd-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 2:9.2.725-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2026-1940](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2026-1940.md) | Jul 20, 2026 | --- Data as of 2026-11-09T01:18:40Z UTC.
