Description

A flaw was found in Vim, an open-source command-line text editor. The Python omni-completion feature executes reconstructed function and class definitions from the current buffer. A remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a hostile buffer, leading to the execution of attacker-controlled Python expressions during omni-completion. This vulnerability can result in arbitrary code execution.
