The Docker container has finally been updated to v4.
Config via environment variables is the same other than the replacement of INSPIRCD_ADMIN_NICK with INSP_ADMIN_DESC but (as with the regular release) if you're using a config file you'll need to manually fix it.

If you have built from source you can use `./modulemanager install m_cve_2024_39844` to install a module to work around this ZNC vulnerability.
Attention ZNC users: An RCE vulnerability has been discovered in ZNC's modtcl. You should disable this module until patched. More info at libera.chat/news/zncpsa (CVE-2024-39844)
PSA: Critical vulnerability in ZNC’s modtcl
TL;DR - If you are using a version of modtcl that is NOT from ZNC 1.9.1 (distribution versions may differ) or newer, update or unload it immediately.
