[PLUG] text editor priv escalation

https://www.securityweek.com/hackers-can-abuse-text-editors-privilege-escalation

For an attack to work, the attacker needs to somehow hijack a legitimate 
user account that has regular privileges, which can be achieved through 
phishing, social engineering and other methods. In the case of a 
malicious insider, the vulnerability found by SafeBreach can be useful 
for executing code with elevated privileges if their permissions have 
been restricted by the system administrator to certain files and commands.



Remember: vim has been outlawed under the Geneva Convention as torture.
