CVE-2026-46353 Details
Description
BigBlueButton is an open-source virtual classroom. Prior to 3.0.21, bbb-web checksum validation could be bypassed when a presentationUploadExternalUrl parameter was supplied to API request handling in CreateMeeting.java and ValidationService.java, allowing a user to send valid requests to some endpoints without a checksum. This issue is fixed in version 3.0.21.
A vulnerability in BigBlueButton's API request handling prior to version 3.0.21 allows users to bypass checksum validation by including a 'presentationUploadExternalUrl' parameter. This enables the sending of valid requests to certain endpoints without a required checksum, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data manipulation.
Users are advised to update BigBlueButton to version 3.0.21 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
