(ZNC: Privilege escalation)

    It was discovered that ZNC’s “Modules.cpp” allows remote
      authenticated non-admin users to escalate privileges.
  
Impact :

    A remote authenticated attacker could escalate privileges and
      subsequently execute arbitrary code or conduct a Denial of Service
      attack.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.");
