Description
@jitsi/electron-sdk before 10.0.5 exposes getDesktopSources() via contextBridge without requiring an active getDisplayMedia() picker, allowing any script in the meeting page to enumerate screens and windows. Attackers can call the jitsi-screen-sharing-get-sources IPC route to retrieve desktop thumbnails at arbitrary resolution without user consent or operating system permission prompts.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows any script running in a Jitsi meeting page to invoke the getDesktopSources() API through the contextBridge without the need for an active getDisplayMedia() permission request. This API returns a list of available screens and windows, and when routed via the jitsi-screen-sharing-get-sources IPC channel, it can deliver desktop thumbnails at arbitrary resolution. The behavior is implemented in Electron.js as a privileged API exposed to the renderer process, and because no user consent or operating‑system permission is requested, an attacker from a malicious script can enumerate screens and retrieve thumbnails. The flaw results directly from an authorization weakness (CWE‑862) that allows privileged operations to be performed by unThe flaw results directly from an authorization weakness (CWE‑862) that allows privileged operations to be performed by unThe flaw exists in the Jitsi Electron SDK, specifically any installation of @jitsi/electron-sdk earlier than of the open‑source Jitsi Meet Electron build that rely on versions prior to the 10.0.5 release are affected; the same vulnerability is present in all builds derived from that code path.

Affected Systems

Affected systems include the Jitsi/electron-sdk, specifically any installation before version 10.0.5. The vulnerability is present in builds of the open‑source Jitsi Meet Electron application derived from the affected code base.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 rates this vulnerability as high severity, indicating a substantial impact on information confidentiality if exploited. The EPSS score is reported as less than 1%, reflecting a low probability of exploitation in the wild, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires that a malicious or compromised script runs within the meeting page context; the attacker can then retrieve screen information without OS permission prompts. The lack of a user‑initiated screen normally provide, making the attack feasible from within the host application itself or from a malicious participant’s embedded code.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Jitsi Electron SDK to version 10.0.5 or later, which restricts getDesktopSources() exposure to only the standard getDisplayMedia() flow.
  • Modify the application's preload scripts to remove or guard the getDesktopSources() exposure via contextBridge, ensuring that only trusted UI components can call the underlying desktop API.
  • Implement a strict Content Security Policy (CSP) that disallows arbitrary script injection into the meeting page to prevent malicious participants from executing code that could access the exposed API.
