If you use the /scon or /scid commands in certain ways, and don't manage the incoming text properly, users could make your mIRC perform any command, including running the DOS format command to format your c: drive. It is up to the user to prevent these things from happening.

Here is a sample that would be used to have a bot msg a channel on another network:


UNSAFE:

/scon 2 msg #chan $1-


---------------

SAFE:

/scon 2
/msg #chan $1-
/scon -r
