CVE-2026-71555
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
PILOS (Platform for Interactive Live-Online Seminars) is a frontend for BigBlueButton. From 2.1.0 until 4.14.1, PILOS does not send a Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy response header, so pages opened by PILOS via a link that opens a new browsing context (e.g., target="_blank") retain a window.opener reference back to the originating PILOS tab. A malicious destination page reached this way can use window.opener to navigate or manipulate the original PILOS tab, a technique known as reverse tabnabbing, potentially redirecting an authenticated user to a phishing page that mimics PILOS. This issue is fixed in version 4.14.1.

"value": "PILOS (Plataforma para Seminarios Interactivos en Vivo y en Línea) es un frontend para BigBlueButton. Desde la versión 2.1.0 hasta la 4.14.1, PILOS no envía una cabecera de respuesta Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy, por lo que las páginas abiertas por PILOS a través de un enlace que abre un nuevo contexto de navegación (por ejemplo, target=’_blank’) retienen una referencia window.opener de vuelta a la pestaña PILOS de origen. Una página de destino maliciosa alcanzada de esta manera puede usar window.opener para navegar o manipular la pestaña PILOS original, una técnica conocida como reverse tabnabbing, redirigiendo potencialmente a un usuario autenticado a una página de phishing que imita a PILOS. Este problema está solucionado en la versión 4.14.1."
