BigBlueButton: Stored XSS in Screenshare Recording Playback via Unescaped Meeting Name

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 16.06.2026 Published: 20.08.2026 Updated: 20.08.2026

BigBlueButton is an open-source virtual classroom. Prior to 3.0.29, BigBlueButton failed to escape meetingName in record-and-playback/screenshare/playback/index.html.erb when generating the screenshare playback format. A low-privileged user could store a crafted meeting name that embedded script content, and the script executed in another user's browser when that user replayed the recording. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.29.
