CVE-2026-47189
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 1.0.5, the AutoMod remove flow looks up and deletes rules by global database ID without verifying that the rule belongs to the guild where the command is executed. A user can learn a victim guild’s AutoMod rule ID through autocomplete, then remove that rule from another guild where they have Manage Server. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.5.
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 confidenceThis is an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in Quest Bot's AutoMod rule removal feature. The bot uses a global database ID to identify and delete AutoMod rules but fails to verify that the rule belongs to the specific guild where the command is executed. An attacker with Manage Server permissions in one guild can discover another guild's AutoMod rule IDs via autocomplete functionality and then delete those rules from their own guild, causing denial of AutoMod protection in the victim guild.

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 versionUse Discord commands to check the bot's version (such as /botinfo or /version), or check the bot's documentation/status message. Compare the version number to 1.0.5.Affected if The installed Quest Bot version is below 1.0.5
-
Verify AutoMod rules exist in your guildRun /automod rules list or navigate to Server Settings > AutoMod in your Discord server to list configured AutoMod rules.Affected if Your guild has one or more AutoMod rules configured and the Quest Bot version is below 1.0.5
-
Confirm autocomplete functionality is availableIn Discord, type the Quest Bot command for managing AutoMod rules (such as /automod delete) and observe if autocomplete suggests rule IDs without requiring guild verification.Affected if Autocomplete shows rule IDs from other guilds or allows rule ID input without validating guild ownership, and the bot version is below 1.0.5
-
Check for cross-guild rule manipulation capabilityAttempt to delete an AutoMod rule using its ID via Quest Bot commands while verifying the rule belongs to your guild by checking the rule list.Affected if The bot accepts and processes rule deletion commands without confirming the rule belongs to the guild issuing the command, indicating missing ownership verification.
Your environment is affected if Quest Bot version is below 1.0.5 and your guild has configured AutoMod rules, because the bot lacks guild ownership verification before allowing rule deletion.

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 1.0.5 or later, which implements proper guild ownership verification before allowing AutoMod rule deletion.
