It was discovered that the "source" command (used to include and execute another file) was not filtered, allowing shell command execution with a carefully crafted file opened in Neovim. For the oldstable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.1.7-4+deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your neovim packages.
