CVE-2015-3427
Quassel before 0.12.2 does not properly re-initialize the database session when the PostgreSQL database is restarted, which allows remote attackers to conduct SQL injection attacks via a \ (backslash) in a message.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.99%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
