CVE-2008-7070
Argument injection vulnerability in the URI handler in KVIrc 3.4.2 Shiny allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a " (quote) followed by command line switches in a (1) irc:///, (2) irc6:///, (3) ircs:///, or (4) and ircs6:/// URI.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.05%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
