Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
In Jitsi Meet before 2.0.9779, the functionality to share an image using giphy was implemented in an insecure way, resulting in clients loading GIFs from any arbitrary URL if a message from another participant contains a URL encoded in the expected format.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Insecure implementation of giphy image sharing in Jitsi Meet allows clients to load GIFs from arbitrary URLs when a message contains a URL in the expected format. An attacker can craft messages with malicious URLs that client browsers will fetch and render, potentially leading to SSRF-like behavior, loading of malicious content, or information disclosure.

MitigationUpgrade to Jitsi Meet 2.0.9779 or later which implements proper URL validation. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, disable the giphy integration as a temporary workaround.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify Jitsi Meet installation version
    Access the Jitsi Meet admin interface or API endpoint that reports version information (typically at /about or through the deployment's configuration). Compare the installed version number against 2.0.9779.
    Affected if The installed version is less than 2.0.9779 (e.g., 2.0.9700, 2.0.9500, etc.).
  2. Locate Giphy integration configuration
    Inspect the Jitsi Meet deployment configuration files (such as config.js or interface_config.js) for settings related to Giphy integration, API keys, or the giphy feature flag.
    Affected if Giphy integration is enabled in the configuration (e.g., 'giphy' or 'enableGiphy' setting is present and set to true).
  3. Verify Giphy API endpoint accessibility
    Test whether the Jitsi Meet instance exposes the Giphy integration functionality that processes message URLs. This may be observable through browser network traffic when the feature is used in chat.
    Affected if The Giphy integration endpoint is active and processes URLs from chat messages without proper validation.
  4. Confirm chat/messaging feature is enabled
    Check if the Jitsi Meet deployment has the chat or messaging feature enabled for meetings, as this is required for the vulnerable giphy URL processing to occur.
    Affected if Chat or messaging functionality is enabled and accessible to meeting participants.

You are affected if your Jitsi Meet version is below 2.0.9779 AND the Giphy integration is enabled in your configuration.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 2.0.9779 or later
Fixed in 2.0.9779
Interim mitigation

Upgrade to Jitsi Meet 2.0.9779 or later which implements proper URL validation. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, disable the giphy integration as a temporary workaround.

Recommended fix High confidence

2.0.9779

  1. Identify the current Jitsi Meet deployment method (Docker, APT package, or manual installation)
  2. Stop the Jitsi Meet service
  3. Back up the current configuration and database if applicable
  4. Upgrade Jitsi Meet to version 2.0.9779 or later using the appropriate method for your deployment
  5. For Docker: pull the new image and recreate containers
  6. For APT: run apt update && apt upgrade jitsi-meet
  7. For manual: download and replace files from the official repository
  8. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number
