BigBlueButton before 2.2.28 (or earlier) does not set the secure flag for the session cookie in an https session, which makes it easier for remote attackers to capture this cookie by intercepting its transmission within an http session.

In BigBlueButton before 2.2.28 (or earlier), the client-side Mute button only signifies that the server should stop accepting audio data from the client. It does not directly configure the client to stop sending audio data to the server, and thus a modified server could store the audio data and/or transmit it to one or more meeting participants or other third parties.

The installation procedure in BigBlueButton before 2.2.28 (or earlier) uses ClueCon as the FreeSWITCH password, which allows local users to achieve unintended FreeSWITCH access.

The installation procedure in BigBlueButton before 2.2.28 (or earlier) exposes certain network services to external interfaces, and does not automatically set up a firewall configuration to block external access.

Greenlight in BigBlueButton through 2.2.28 places usernames in room URLs, which may represent an unintended information leak to users in a room, or an information leak to outsiders if any user publishes a screenshot of a browser window.

In BigBlueButton before 2.2.28 (or earlier), uploaded presentations are sent to clients without a Content-Type header, which allows XSS, as demonstrated by a .png file extension for an HTML document.

BigBlueButton before 2.2.7 allows remote authenticated users to read local files and conduct SSRF attacks via an uploaded Office document that has a crafted URL in an ODF xlink field.

BigBlueButton Greenlight before 2.5.6 allows HTTP header (Host and Origin) attacks, which can result in Account Takeover if a victim follows a spoofed password-reset link.

BigBlueButton before 2.2.6 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files because the presfilename (lowercase) value can be a .pdf filename while the presFilename (mixed case) value has a ../ sequence. This can be leveraged for privilege escalation via a directory traversal to bigbluebutton.properties. NOTE: this issue exists because of an ineffective mitigation to CVE-2020-12112 in which there was an attempted fix within an NGINX configuration file, without considering that the relevant part of NGINX is case-insensitive.

BigBlueButton before 2.2.4 allows XSS via closed captions because dangerouslySetInnerHTML in React is used.
