BigBlueButton vulnerable to DoS via PollSubmitVote GraphQL mutation

Published Oct 9, 2025 · Updated Oct 15, 2025 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

BigBlueButton is an open-source virtual classroom. A Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability in versions prior to 3.0.13 allows any authenticated user to freeze or crash the entire server by abusing the polling feature's `Choices` response type. By submitting a malicious payload with a massive array in the `answerIds` field, the attacker can cause the current meeting — and potentially all meetings on the server — to become unresponsive. Version 3.0.13 contains a patch. No known workarounds are available.
