DescriptionCVE.org

BigBlueButton is an open-source virtual classroom. Prior to 3.0.29, BigBlueButton presenters could submit a presentationId through /api/graphql that identified a presentation belonging to another meeting. akka-bbb-apps/src/main/scala/org/bigbluebutton/core/apps/presentationpod/RemovePresentationPubMsgHdlr.scala did not verify the presentation's meeting identifier before deletion, allowing a presenter who knew the identifier to delete another meeting's presentation and disrupt its availability. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.29.

AnalysisAI

Cross-meeting presentation deletion in BigBlueButton prior to 3.0.29 allows an authenticated presenter in one meeting to permanently delete presentations belonging to a different concurrent meeting by supplying an arbitrary presentationId through the /api/graphql endpoint. The affected Scala handler RemovePresentationPubMsgHdlr issued database deletes scoped only by presentationId, with no verification that the target presentation belonged to the caller's meeting. …
