Hello,
I hope this reply finds you well!
That is a great question! Because the software is installed at the root level, it unfortunately is not possible for you to update the server versions yourself.
However, you can install a local copy of Vim and use that rather than the server version. A KnowledgeBase article is in the works about how to do this and should be up within the next day or two. Once it is finished, I will reply here giving you a direct link to the article.
