Vulnerability in Quest Bot (CVE-2026-47163). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Quest Bot is an opensource modern Discord Bot built for moderation, utilities and support. Prior to version 1.0.1, any guild member who can invoke slash commands can use /automod add, /automod remove, and /automod list because the command has no Discord default permission requirement and no runtime moderator permission check. An attacker can add a rule matching common text and make the bot delete other users’ messages. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.1.
