VectorAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Konversation version 0.15
Description The issue in Konversation inadvertently uses the user-provided password as the nickname when connecting to the IRC server, potentially leaking the password to other users.
Recommendations For Konversation version 0.15, consider avoiding the use of the Quick Connection dialog until a fix is available, and instead, use an alternative method to connect to the IRC server that does not expose the password.
