A demonstration of a remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in Vim triggered simply by opening a file. The exploit leverages Vim's modeline feature, which allows files to embed editor commands in the first or last few lines. While modelines are normally safe, a crafted file can execute arbitrary commands upon opening. Claude was used to discover this bug, and humorously, a similar RCE was also found in Emacs.
