SCA: security update for red-discordbot (GHSA-mp9m-g7qj-6vqr)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 417052
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Red Discord Bot before version 3.4.1 has an unauthorized privilege escalation exploit in the Mod module.
This exploit allows Discord users with a high privilege level within the guild to bypass hierarchy checks
when the application is in a specific condition that is beyond that user's control. By abusing this
exploit, it is possible to perform destructive actions within the guild the user has high privileges in.
This exploit has been fixed in version 3.4.1. As a workaround, unloading the Mod module with unload mod
or, disabling the massban command with command disable global massban can render this exploit not
accessible. We still highly recommend updating to 3.4.1 to completely patch this issue. (CVE-2020-15278)
