Since the EPSS score is currently unavailable and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, the likelihood of widespread exploitation is uncertain but could emerge through targeted attacks.

Administrators should treat this as a medium risk that requires timely patching."}}}}, "created": "2026-04-22T01:30:05.070559+00:00", "updated": "2026-04-22T06:15:10.416948+00:00", "vendors": ["bigbluebutton", "bigbluebutton$PRODUCT$bigbluebutton"]}
