CVE-2020-15278: Unauthorized privilege escalation in Mod module

October 27, 2020 (updated October 25, 2024)

An unauthorized privilege escalation exploit has been discovered 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’s possible to perform destructive actions within the guild the user has high privileges in.
