I Hacked a Discord Bot, the Owner said this...

  • A vulnerability was found in the Discord bot, Captcha.bot. And I hacked into the bot and gave myself admin on a Discord server. But when I told the bot owner/developer about this, he said...
    Wow I'm a tease. But yessir, it's another video where I talk about the abhorrent security of Discord bots and how easily they can be hacked. And in this case there's a lot of things I get to complain about, from the security of a "security Discord bot" to how the owner responded to me after I disclosed the vulnerability.
    And again, massive thank you to xyzeva for finding this vulnerability. They are 2-0 right now.
    Also just so we are clear, I hacked into my own test server. I would never cause intentional damage to a Discord server.

    1. Do not harass the bot developer. Yes, he didn't say thank you, but he did fix the issue quickly. Harassing someone because of poor manners aint the move.
    2. The vulnerability is patched, please stop asking me how to hack into captcha.bot. I will never make a video on a live vulnerability because some of you are rascals.
    and finally, I was told that people are asking other bot devs if their bot is safe and linking this video. That is perfect, that's the goal of these videos. Whether it's a one man team or a big company, people will exploit discord bots and use it to ruin people's communities or scam a bunch of people. And everyone getting a little scared of eva, and double checking the security of their bots, is going to make the community a better place. (Even if it means I have to burn my bridges with bot devs that disagree).

      Verification etc. should be done on the backend and be a little more secure than just sending _any_ auth header. It should verify the auth header that it's actually the owner and probably a lot more.
      I even have such a login on my website, but you need the right password and username to get logged in and _then_ it just sees "Logged in? Okay, here's your perms!", because I am the only user account there. And eventually I'll replace that with a third-party OAuth login instead of an own one.

      @ItzPubby Před 5 měsíci

      #1 advice i can give. Don't use bots. Bots are fully automated without human input when it comes to authentication. The best security you can do, is have active HUMAN staff members in your servers. I get the appeal for bots, but if you bringing them in from a third party, you are literally relinquishing control to someone you dont know if you can trust or not. Weither if the properly took the percautions. So, set up your discord and manage it yourself.

    • @kuuravr
      @kuuravr Před 5 měsíci +4

      ​@@ItzPubby I wouldn't say that's a good advice, bots are helpful when used right especially when you have a large server or want to setup something specific, the issue is people are too lazy to set up bot properly and just gives it admin so it does its job, they don't organize their server roles properly, they don't disable bot features they don't need and don't restrict the bot accesses to what it doesn't need, they don't know how to look for the signs that a bot isn't made properly (such as its invite auth link requesting admin perms in any capacity).
      Sure if you're running a small server you probably don't need a bot, but they're a good tool and people needs to know better when using said tool.

    I'm not surprised that Dark was unresponsive after you basically saved his bot from destruction and chaos. Every interaction I've had with him (through the Arcane server), he has been cold and narcissistic. I don't know if that's how he actually is IRL, or if he gets a lot of messages per day and can't keep up with them, but he does not seem like a very good person in my opinion. I am glad that he fixed this huge vulnerability, and I can pretty much guarantee that any mention of this in any of the servers he owns will be met with a timeout or something of that sort. I mentioned the word "bot" in the Arcane server and got muted for 5 minutes for "advertising" as he told me.

I'm not excusing Dark's actions as he could have at least said thank you, but there might be multiple reasons why he didn't respond other than he's a duchebag.

    I just finished watching this video, and decided to check a few of the bots I have used on servers I own/co-own, including paid, free, and trial bots. It takes a bit longer than this, but some very popular bots(not gonna name them) have some major issues very similar to this one. I tested a method on a server I am friends with the owner on and managed to(after creating a backup server so people wouldn't lose everything) completely wipe the server in the span of 8 minutes. People really need to hire some kind of white-hat to double check that things aren't as hilariously undefended as this was.

Anyways, we need more ethical volunteers to check for stupid vulnerabilities like this... All developers are human beings, they can definitely make mistakes, it's not a thing to feel shy about. Therefore, let's put our hands together to fight the criminals who actually takes advantage of these mistakes... Thanks to NTTS for this awareness video!

      @@sattlerdevelopment Yes, truly it can be a secure option if you can sanitize website's input cases. Even with user ID, you can add better defences for this kind of XSS attacks. You can add some sort of Server authentications and stuffs (as I noticed the website only authorised the "hacker" by what it sees from the browser's perspective, meaning it's an exploit that can completely be done from the frontend). You can also add Public IP address checking (i think) to notify the developer that an unknown device is trying to connect to the admin portal...or smth like that idk. Either way, there are a lots of measures you can take. (Thanks for the callback, I just didn't think of that exploit.)

    from what i've seen (at least on this channel I don't really use bots in my servers at all, and the bots I do use are like, music bots which only need like 1 permission). Most bot developers don't have experience with an internet facing service. If the debug endpoint is there just for debugging other servers just incase there's an issue, why not just have it to where it can accept any ID and auth token, but on the backend it checks if it's the correct user. The code is right there in the page source, it just checks if the userID is the ID if the owner of capture bot, and just doesn't show it if it's not...the actual call doing the debug mode just does it, no other prior checks beside if the guildID is a valid id.
    What should've been done is, A. don't hardcode the user ID into the check for the User ID someone could just spoof it by just copying it right there B. do other verification on the actual backend.
    it could be a whole thing where first it sends the request like it does in the video, but when it gets to the backend it'll check multiple things, the user ID that sent the data, what permissions it has etc etc. verification shouldn't be done on the front end.

    As a Developer, hacker, consultant.
    You would be suprised at how many of these APIs are vulnrable to this exact issue. To many developers think that frontend verification is secure. Completely ignoring anyone could send requests directly to the API.
    And tbh, 99% of these issues come from Javascript developers. They have no idea about secure backend programming.
    Discord had the exact same vulnrability in their APIs, last year people discovered a new API for model popups, it was completely undocumented and wasnt supposed to be public, but even discord doesnt put propper authentication on their APIs.

    • @Sammysapphira

      It's certainly a js issue. Tons of js frameworks bake back end into the front end like react and nextjs. There's a level of abstraction that non system engineers can't really understand because they think they're writing back end code but it's actually running on the client. It's like giving them a notepad with all your passwords to everyone who visits your website.

    The only solution in my opinion, is making a private owner panel and move the api /guilded there. The owner panel and it's api endpoint will be connected to the database locally and they could add a login check with the owner's discord account. Trust me, I've done this for a website I own and it's a very good security. Like, who'll try to come at your house, try to guess your pc's password/pin or whatever you have, find the hidden owner panel and try to get in with your discord account?
