Description:
Wouter Coekaerts has reported a vulnerability in now_playing.rb, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to now_playing.rb not correctly filtering id3 tags before sending them to weechat. This can be exploited to e.g. send arbitrary commands to a server by tricking a user into playing and announcing a specially crafted MP3 file.

The vulnerability is reported in version 0.1. Other versions may also be affected.
