Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions VIM Development Group GVim versions prior to 7.3.46
Description The issue allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks via a Trojan horse User32.dll or other DLL that is located in the same folder as a .TXT file.
Recommendations For versions prior to 7.3.46, update to version 7.3.46 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to untrusted search paths to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid executing GVim from untrusted directories to prevent DLL hijacking attacks.
