Technical details

The 'automod add' command in Quest Bot trims user input but fails to verify if the resulting string is empty. If a user provides only whitespace, an empty string is stored in the database as a forbidden word. The message listener component uses the JavaScript 'content.includes()' method to check incoming messages against the forbidden list; since any string includes an empty string, the condition evaluates to true for every message. This leads to the immediate deletion of all guild messages by the bot. The vulnerability requires 'Manage Guild' permissions to exploit and has been patched in version 1.1.6.
