Quake 2 (Q2) server 3.20 and 3.21 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive server cvar variables, obtain directory listings, and execute Q2 server admin commands via a client that does not expand "$" macros, which causes the server to expand the macros and leak the information, as demonstrated using "say $rcon_password."

Security readout for executives and security teams

A legacy Quake 2 server bug could let a remote player make the server reveal sensitive configuration values and run server admin actions. The most important exposure is any still-running Quake 2 3.20 or 3.21 server reachable from untrusted networks. Exposure is likely limited to legacy or hobby Quake 2 server deployments. Risk is highest for public servers running versions 3.20 or 3.21, especially where sensitive server cvars or admin controls remain configured. Treat as high priority only where legacy Quake 2 servers are still reachable. For most enterprises, the main task is confirming absence from the attack surface and retiring unmanaged legacy services. Mitigation focus: Identify any Quake 2 server 3.20 or 3.21 instances.; Remove public exposure for vulnerable legacy servers where possible.; Check vendor or project guidance for fixed builds or configuration workarounds..
