Mitigation checklist
- Ensure the spell checker is turned off by running :set nospell within Vim. Do not open untrusted or suspicious files—particularly those encrypted with libsodium methods (VimCrypt~04! or VimCrypt~05!)—within the Vim editor. This prevents the execution of the vulnerable decryption routine
