Package

pip sopel-plugins.channelmgnt (pip)

Affected versions

< 2.0.1

Patched versions

2.0.1

Description

Impact

On some IRC servers, restrictions around the removal of the bot using the kick/kickban command could be bypassed when kicking multiple users at once.
We also believe it may have been possible to remove users from other channels but due to the wonder that is IRC and following RfCs, We have no POC for that.

Freenode is not affected.

Patches

Upgrade to 2.0.1 or higher

Workarounds

Do not use this plugin on networks where TARGMAX > 1.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
