Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Quassel versions prior to 0.12.2

Description The issue arises when the PostgreSQL database is restarted, and Quassel does not properly re-initialize the database session. This allows remote attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks via a backslash (``) in a message.

Recommendations For Quassel versions prior to 0.12.2, update to version 0.12.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the database or limiting the use of backslashes in messages until the update is applied.
