The body of a CTCP message received over an established DCC CHAT connection is concatenated into a dynamic signal name and emitted via signal_emit. The first whitespace-separated token becomes the CTCP command and the remainder is delivered to any matching handler as the second argument, including loaded perl scripts. While irssi itself does not crash on unknown signal names (the signal system interns them and signal_emit returns FALSE for no-match), the unbounded body length widens the attack surface for any perl script that operates unsafely on the CTCP argument. A 256-byte cap on the body that is concatenated into the signal name limits the attack surface and aligns with the convention used for CTCP-over-IRC handling. |
