The IRC script included in Light 2.7.x before 2.7.30p5, and 2.8.x before 2.8pre10, running EPIC allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code if the user joins a channel whose topic includes EPIC4 code.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2002-0984 is an old remote code execution issue in the Light IRC script when used with EPIC. A malicious IRC channel topic could cause code execution after a user joins that channel. Business risk is mainly for legacy systems still running the vulnerable script and client combination. Exposure is likely limited to legacy IRC users or systems that still use the vulnerable Light script with EPIC. The source bundle has sparse affected-product metadata and no CPEs, so asset discovery must confirm actual installations. Treat as targeted legacy risk. It is not a broad modern enterprise exposure unless old IRC tooling remains in use, but confirmed vulnerable installations should be upgraded or removed because the impact is arbitrary code execution. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Light 2.7.x to 2.7.30p5 or later.; Upgrade Light 2.8.x to 2.8pre10 or later.; Review Debian DSA-156 if using Debian packages..
