VIM in Catalina does not work

Hi,

VIM in Catalina does not work. I do not want to install third party tools (e.g. brew or whatever). I want the VIM that is shipped with Mac OS and the moment is not working.

Does anybody knows how to fix (I repeat, without installing third party tools) this problem with VIM in Mac OS Catalina?

When I'm running VIM from Terminal, Console.app says

"Library Validation failed: Rejecting '/private/var/tmp/......' (Team ID: none, platform: no) for process 'vim(1989)' (Team ID: none, platform: yes), reason: mapped file has no cdhash, completely unsigned? Code has to be at least ad-hoc signed."

P.S. Seriously Apple? Why you start reducing the quality of your OS like that?

These are fellow user supported communities. Apple leadership and product teams do not participate here because they are really busy elsewhere.

Have you recently changed your ~/.vimrc file, or downloaded an unvetted example form the Internet? Running this in the zsh or bash shell?

I have a clean install of Catalina 10.15.1, where I did not restore my home directory. Thus, there is no custom ~/.vimrc available, and in zsh, I just opened a Python file without a whimper from vim. This is the vim that shipped with the Catalina, though I do prefer to use the third-party MacVim (not presently installed on Catalina) as it is maintained with current patches (e.g 1 - 2234).
