CVE-2026-47176
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedQuest 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.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceQuest Bot before version 1.0.4 contains an authorization bypass vulnerability in its message logging feature. Users with bot configuration permissions can enable message logging and select a channel they can read. The bot then logs all deleted and edited message contents from every channel it can access, including private channels the configuring user cannot access, leading to information disclosure of private communications.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Quest Bot versionRun the bot with a version flag (such as --version) or use a bot info command to retrieve the installed version numberAffected if The version is lower than 1.0.4 (for example, 1.0.3, 1.0.2, etc.)
-
Determine if message logging feature is enabledInspect the bot's configuration settings or database for the message logging feature toggle; look for any enabled flag related to deleted/edited message loggingAffected if Message logging is turned on
-
Identify channels configured for message loggingReview the logging configuration to see which channel(s) are set as the destination for logged messagesAffected if A logging destination channel exists in the configuration
-
Check bot permissions in private channelsReview the bot's channel permissions to determine which private channels the bot has access to (including reading message content)Affected if The bot has read access to any private or restricted channels that the configuring user cannot access
-
Assess user access to logging destinationVerify whether the user who enabled message logging has read access to the designated logging channelAffected if The configuring user can read the logging channel but the bot logs content from private channels they cannot access
You are affected if Quest Bot version is below 1.0.4, message logging is enabled, and the bot has access to private channels while the logging output is visible to a user who cannot see those private channels.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade Quest Bot to version 1.0.4 or later. Additionally, restrict bot configuration permissions to trusted administrators only and audit existing logging configurations for unauthorized access to private channel content.
1.0.4
- 1. Identify the current version of Quest Bot running in your environment
- 2. If running a version prior to 1.0.4, stop the bot service
- 3. Update the bot to version 1.0.4 or later
- 4. Restart the bot service
- 5. Verify the bot is running version 1.0.4 or later
