Summary
matrix-appservice-irc is an open source Node.js IRC bridge for Matrix. The Internet Relay Chat (IRC) protocol allows you to specify multiple modes in a single mode command. Due to a bug in the underlying matrix-org/node-irc library, affected versions of matrix-appservice-irc perform parsing of such modes incorrectly, potentially resulting in the wrong user being given permissions. Mode commands can only be executed by privileged users, so this can only be abused if an operator is tricked into running the command on behalf of an attacker. The vulnerability has been patched in matrix-appservice-irc 0.35.0. As a workaround users should refrain from entering mode commands suggested by untrusted users. Avoid using multiple modes in a single command.

El protocolo Internet Relay Chat (IRC) permite especificar m\u00faltiples modos en un solo comando de modo. Debido a un error en la biblioteca matrix-org/node-irc subyacente, las versiones afectadas de matrix-appservice-irc llevan a cabo el an\u00e1lisis de dichos modos de forma incorrecta, resultando potencialmente en que sean dados permisos al usuario equivocado. Los comandos de modo s\u00f3lo pueden ser ejecutados por usuarios privilegiados, por lo que esto s\u00f3lo puede ser abusado si un operador es enga\u00f1ado para ejecutar el comando en nombre de un atacante. La vulnerabilidad ha sido parcheada en matrix-appservice-irc versi\u00f3n 0.35.0. Como mitigaci\u00f3n, los usuarios deben abstenerse de introducir comandos de modo sugeridos por usuarios no confiables. Evite usar varios modos en un solo comando"
