BitchX security issues?

[James Hozier]

I've been hearing that BitchX has some security issues and has not been
updated in a while, yet it's still in OpenBSD Packages when I think other
OSes have removed it from their respective repos. Is the BitchX version in
OpenBSD Packages modified and maintained by OpenBSD developers in a way
such that it is safe to use as opposed to the regular version on the
official BitchX site?
