Description
This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.
1) Improper access control (CVE-ID: N/A)
The vulnerability allows a local user to disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to improper access control in operator status handling when processing de-op commands against entries in ops.txt with non-lowercase letters. A local user can add their name to ops.txt with uppercase letters to disclose sensitive information.
The issue can make a player impossible to de-op using commands because operator checks match names case-insensitively while removal does not.
