DESCRIPTION

Vim is a text editor which can use plugins such as "Netrw", this
last permits to read or write files across networks.

Every time Vim opens a new FTP session, the "Netrw" plugin sends
the login and the password of the last valid FTP session.

An attacker can therefore recover this information and thus modify
files on the FTP server of the victim.
