So for any supposedly malicious activity (infected) it wants to do, it just has to hold until you save and give admin access? 😅

Yes, but if you want to argue along those lines, you could also have an infected version of vim on your system just waiting to do malicious stuff until you give it sudo access.

Indeed... Hence why I use 'sudo nano'. 😜
