CVE-2010-3438 (2019-11-12)

libpoe-component-irc-perl before v6.32 does not remove carriage returns and line feeds. This can be used to execute arbitrary IRC commands by passing an argument such as \"some text\\rQUIT\" to the 'privmsg' handler, which would cause the client to disconnect from the server.

NAME

POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Logger - A PoCo-IRC plugin which logs public and private messages to disk.

SYNOPSIS

use POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Logger;

$irc->plugin_add('Logger', POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Logger->new(
    Path => '/home/me/irclogs',
    Private => 0,
    Public => 1,
));

DESCRIPTION

POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Logger is a POE::Component::IRC plugin. It logs messages and CTCP ACTIONs to either #some_channel.log or some_nickname.log in the supplied path. It uses Encode::Guess to detect UTF-8 encoding of every message or else falls back to CP1252 (like irssi does by default).

This plugin requires the IRC component to be POE::Component::IRC::State or a subclass thereof. It also requires a POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::BotTraffic to be in the plugin pipeline.

METHODS

new

Arguments:

'Path', the place where you want the logs saved.
'Private', whether or not to log private messages. Defaults to 1.
'Public', whether or not to log public messages. Defaults to 1.

Returns a plugin object suitable for feeding to POE::Component::IRC's plugin_add() method.
