CVE Descriptions

XChat 1.8.7 and earlier, including default configurations of 1.4.2 and 1.4.3, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary IRC commands as other clients via encoded characters in a PRIVMSG command that calls CTCP PING, which expands the characters in the client response when the percascii variable is set.

EPSS

EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.

EPSS Score

The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.

EPSS Percentile

The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

Exploit information

Exploit Database EDB-ID : 21210

Author : Marcus Meissner
EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/3830/info X-Chat is a graphical client for IRC. It requires the GTK+ toolkit, and is available for many Linux and Unix operating systems. If a CTCP ping request includes escaped newline characters and additional IRC commands, these commands may be executed by the vulnerable client. It is possible to gain operator status in channels owned by the vulnerable user, or to use their identity to initiate social engineering attacks. Although this vulnerability exists in recent versions of X-Chat, the option to expand characters has been disabled by default since version 1.4.3. cat 21210.exploit - | netcat server 6667 https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb-bin-sploits/-/raw/main/bin-sploits/21210.exploit
