Bigbluebutton: >> Bigbluebutton >> 2.4.4 Security Vulnerabilities
BigBlueButton version 2.4.7 (or earlier) is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the private chat functionality. A threat actor could inject JavaScript payload in his/her username. The payload gets executed in the browser of the victim each time the attacker sends a private message to the victim or when notification about the attacker leaving room is displayed.

BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system. Versions starting with 2.2 and prior to 2.3.19, 2.4.7, and 2.5.0-beta.2 are vulnerable to regular expression denial of service (ReDoS) attacks. By using specific a RegularExpression, an attacker can cause denial of service for the bbb-html5 service. The useragent library performs checking of device by parsing the input of User-Agent header and lets it go through lookupUserAgent() (alias of useragent.lookup() ). This function handles input by regexing and attackers can abuse that by providing some ReDos payload using `SmartWatch`. The maintainers removed `htmlclient/useragent` from versions 2.3.19, 2.4.7, and 2.5.0-beta.2. As a workaround, disable NginX forwarding the requests to the handler according to the directions in the GitHub Security Advisory.
