Technical details
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Quest Bot's /autorole command due to improper authorization checks. While the command requires 'Manage Server' permissions, it fails to verify if the user has 'Manage Roles' or 'Administrator' permissions before allowing them to configure which roles are automatically assigned to new members. An attacker can configure the bot to assign a role with Administrator privileges to new accounts. When the attacker joins the server with a secondary account, the bot (if it has sufficient hierarchy) assigns the administrative role, resulting in a full server takeover. This has been patched in version 1.0.3.
