github bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton v2.6.18

latest release: v2.7.8
29 days ago

This 2.6 iteration includes a couple of security patches. The latest locale changes have also been included. We also updated a couple dependencies tagged as containing vulnerabilities.

Important: We removed support for POST requests on join endpoint and also Content-Type headers are now required

In BigBlueButton 2.6.18/2.7.8 POST requests are no longer allowed for the join endpoint. To ensure they are validated properly, a Content-Type header must also be provided for POST requests that contain data in the request body. Endpoints now support a limited set of content types that includes text/xml, application/xml, application/x-www-form-url-encoded, and multipart/form-data. By default each endpoint only supports application/x-www-form-urlencoded and multipart/form-data, but individual endpoints can override this and define their own set of supported content types. The create endpoint supports all of the four previously listed content types while insertDocument supports only text/xml and application/xml. Any requests with a content type that differs from the set supported by the target endpoint will be rejected with a new unsupportedContentType error.
