Description
Quest Bot is an opensource modern Discord Bot built for moderation, utilities and support. Prior to version 1.0.5, the latest release suppresses mentions in several moderation commands, but /unban and /unwarn still echo user-controlled reason text in public bot messages without allowedMentions. A moderator can use @everyone or @here in the reason and make the bot send a mass ping. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.5.

AI Analysis

Impact

The flaw allows a moderator to embed @everyone or @here in the reason parameter of the /unban and /unwarn moderation commands. The bot echoes the supplied reason back in a public message without sanitizing or disabling mentions, so the text is rendered as a mass ping. This abuse can overwhelm users with unwanted notifications, creating a disruption that resembles a lightweight denial‑of‑service. The underlying weakness is a text‑handling vulnerability (CWE‑116).

Affected Systems

Duck Organization Quest Bot, any deployment running a version earlier than 1.0.5. The issue was addressed in release v1.0.5, which implements mention suppression for these commands.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 2.3 classifies the vulnerability as low severity. No EPSS score is available, and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires only that an attacker possess moderator privileges on the Discord server; no additional conditions or remote code execution are needed. The risk is limited to mass‑mentioning annoyance rather than compromise of the bot or server.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the Quest Bot to version 1.0.5 or later, which includes the fix for unban and unwarn commands.
  • Configure the bot’s message rendering settings to disable mentions or apply the allowedMentions option so that any mention characters in messages are treated as plain text.
  • If updating is not possible immediately, consider patching the bot’s source to escape or strip @everyone, @here, and <@!ID> patterns from the reason field before sending messages to users.
