Description
BigBlueButton is an open-source virtual classroom. In versions prior to 3.0.19, the recording playback (presentation format) was not sanitizing user's input in public chat. This allowed for a malicious actor to craft and carry out a targeted XSS attack, activated on anyone replaying the recording. This issue has been fixed 3.0.19.
