Summary

twitch-tui, a tool for handling Twitch chat in the terminal, prior to version 2.4.1 did not use TLS for communication. In the irc connection configuration, the software disables TLS, resulting in unencrypted communication with Twitch IRC servers.

Original NVD description (English source)

twitch-tui provides Twitch chat in a terminal. Prior to version 2.4.1, the connection is not using TLS for communication. In the configuration of the irc connection, the software disables TLS, which makes all communication to Twitch IRC servers unencrypted. As a result, communication, including auth tokens, can be sniffed. Version 2.4.1 has a patch for this issue.
