BashBot is a BASH-based IRC bot project.
This issue arises when you expand a variable, which includes control characters such as `*` or `` ` ``. It leads to problems because the shell expands the variable as requested. By entering `!tell someone foo *`, for instance, the program would send a message to `PRIVMSG someone: foo` along with the list of files found in the current directory. This present serious hazard as using `rm -rf /` or similar commands can lead to far-reaching consequences. I believe this issue is of my making since it started after expanding the line when passing to the modules; doing this would mean having to do away with a considerable amount of coding.
