Summary

BigBlueButton before version 3.0.23 exposed /bigbluebutton/api/handleJoinExistingUser, which was a routable controller action rather than a private helper. A requester able to supply an existingUserID for an active participant could reuse that participant's session and impersonate the participant in the same meeting. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.23.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can impersonate another meeting participant, potentially leading to confidentiality breaches and unauthorized actions on behalf of the victim.

Recommendation

Update BigBlueButton to version 3.0.23 or later to fix the vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)

BigBlueButton is an open-source virtual classroom. Prior to 3.0.23, BigBlueButton exposed /bigbluebutton/api/handleJoinExistingUser through bigbluebutton-web/grails-app/controllers/org/bigbluebutton/web/controllers/ApiController.groovy. A requester able to supply an existingUserID for an active participant could reuse that participant's session and impersonate the participant in the same meeting because handleJoinExistingUser was a routable controller action rather than a private helper. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.23.
