MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold bot configuration privileges on the Discord server - specifically the permission to modify Quest Bot settings, which is a high-privilege role (PR:H). The bot must also have 'View Channel' or equivalent read access to at least one private channel that the configuring user cannot directly access; if the configuring user already has access to all channels the bot can see, no information disclosure occurs. Exploitation is further gated on passive user interaction (UI:P): other guild members must actively send, edit, or delete messages in those private channels for the logging feature to capture and forward content. There is no exploitation path against default Discord server configurations where bot configuration access is held only by users with full channel visibility. The limiting factors - high privilege requirement, specific channel permission topology, and passive UI dependency - significantly constrain the realistic attacker population. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is moderate and highly context-dependent. The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.7 reflects the high privilege requirement (PR:H) and the presence of specific attack requirements (AT:P), which correctly signals that exploitation is not indiscriminate. An attacker must already hold bot configuration privileges - a non-trivial precondition in most Discord server deployments. However, the confidentiality impact to the vulnerable system is rated High (VC:H), meaning a successful exploit fully exposes private channel message content, which can be severe in communities using private channels for sensitive discussions (e.g., staff coordination, legal matters, moderation deliberations). EPSS data is not provided, and this CVE is not listed in CISA KEV, consistent with targeted rather than mass exploitation. No POC code has been identified. The overall risk is elevated for large Discord communities with role-segregated channels and lax bot permission governance, but low for small servers with minimal sensitive private channel use. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A Discord server moderator who has been granted bot configuration access but not membership in a private staff-only channel enables the Quest Bot logging feature and points the log output to a public or semi-public channel they can read. Once configured, any message deleted or edited by staff members in the private channel is automatically forwarded by the bot to the logging channel, revealing confidential staff discussions to the moderator. No exploit code is required - the attack is entirely conducted through the bot's legitimate settings UI. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 11, 2026
Quest Bot, an open-source Discord moderation/utility bot, exposes private channel message contents to privileged users who should not have access to them. A user holding bot configuration privileges can enable the logging feature and direct logs to a channel they control, causing the bot to forward deleted and edited message content from all channels it can observe - including private channels the configuring user is explicitly excluded from reading. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and a patch was released in version 1.0.4.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to upgrade Quest Bot to version 1.0.4, which patches the information disclosure vulnerability. The official release is available at https://github.com/duck-organization/questbot/releases/tag/questbot-v1.0.4 and the advisory is at https://github.com/duck-organization/questbot/security/advisories/GHSA-fvvp-8g5q-hrc7. For deployments that cannot immediately upgrade, a compensating control is to disable the logging feature entirely until the patch is applied - this removes the exploitation pathway but also eliminates legitimate moderation logging capability. A second compensating control is to restrict bot configuration permissions exclusively to fully trusted server administrators who already have visibility into all channels, eliminating the privilege-escalation angle; however, this may not be operationally feasible in larger communities with delegated moderation. Removing the bot's 'View Channel' permission from sensitive private channels is an additional layer of defense, though it degrades bot functionality in those channels.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Quest Bot (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:duck-organization:quest-bot:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) is an open-source Node.js Discord bot hosted under the duck-organization GitHub organization. Discord bots operate with OAuth2 scopes and channel permissions that may exceed those of individual human users - bots with 'View Channel' and 'Read Message History' permissions can observe messages across all guild channels, including private ones restricted to specific roles. The vulnerability is rooted in CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor): the logging feature does not enforce a permission boundary check between the channels the configuring user is authorized to read and the channels the bot itself can observe. This means the bot acts as a confused deputy, laundering access from its elevated service account context to a human user who should be restricted.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
Quest Bot is an opensource modern Discord Bot built for moderation, utilities and support. Prior to version 1.0.4, a user who can configure bot settings can enable logging and choose a logging channel they can read. The bot then logs deleted and edited message contents from every channel it can see, including private channels the configuring user cannot access. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.4.
