CVE-2026-32733
March 20, 2026
Halloy is an IRC application written in Rust. Prior to commit 0f77b2cfc5f822517a256ea5a4b94bad8bfe38b6, the DCC receive flow did not sanitize filenames from incoming "DCC SEND" requests. A remote IRC user could send a filename with path traversal sequences like "../../.ssh/authorized_keys" and the file would be written outside the user's configured "save_directory". With auto-accept enabled this required zero interaction from the victim. Starting with commit 0f77b2cfc5f822517a256ea5a4b94bad8bfe38b6, all identified code paths sanitize filenames through a shared "sanitize_filename" function.
