Executive brief
Quest Bot is an open-source tool used to manage support tickets within Discord servers. A flaw in the bot allows any user with access to the ticket panel to create an unlimited number of support channels and database entries. This can be used to clutter the server, disrupt staff operations, and potentially hit Discord's technical limits for channel creation, effectively disabling the support system.
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-770 (Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling). The 'createTicket' function in 'apps/bot/src/lib/tickets.ts' fails to verify if a user already has an open ticket or enforce a rate-limiting cooldown before generating new Discord channels and database records. An attacker with basic 'Low' privileges (access to the ticket panel) can automate modal submissions to exhaust the guild's channel/category limits or spam the database. This issue is resolved in version 1.1.8 by implementing a ticket limit per user.
