Neovim View Branch secure.lua M.read command injection
Summary
A flaw has been found in Neovim up to 0.12.2. Affected by this issue is the function M.read of the file runtime/lua/vim/secure.lua of the component View Branch. Executing a manipulation of the argument path can lead to command injection. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The exploit has been published and may be used. This patch is called f83e0dcaf8cf18de94828341b0a1a61a86c75baf. A patch should be applied to remediate this issue.
