  • Description: A clear description of the vulnerability
  • Impact: Potential impact and attack scenarios
  • Reproduction: Step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue
  • Environment: Version, platform, and configuration details
  • Proof of Concept: Code or screenshots demonstrating the vulnerability
  • Suggested Fix: If you have ideas for how to fix the issue

Security Considerations

Meet Teams Bot handles sensitive data and operates in security-critical environments. Key security considerations include:

Data Handling

  • Meeting recordings contain sensitive audio/video data
  • Authentication tokens and API keys must be protected
  • Logs may contain personally identifiable information

Browser Automation

  • Chrome extension has access to meeting platforms
  • Automated actions could be misused if compromised
  • Screen recording capabilities require careful permission handling

Network Security

  • WebSocket connections for real-time communication
  • S3 uploads of sensitive recording data
  • Webhook endpoints for status notifications

Access Control

  • Bot authentication and authorization
  • Meeting join permissions and validation
  • Administrative controls and monitoring

Security Best Practices

When using Meet Teams Bot:

  1. Environment Security

    • Use secure, isolated environments for bot deployment
    • Regularly update dependencies and system packages
    • Monitor for unusual activity or unauthorized access
  2. Configuration Security

    • Store secrets and API keys securely (environment variables, secret managers)
    • Use HTTPS for all external communications
    • Validate and sanitize all input parameters
  3. Data Protection

    • Encrypt recordings at rest and in transit
    • Implement proper access controls for recorded data
    • Follow data retention and deletion policies
  4. Monitoring and Logging

    • Monitor bot activity and system resources
    • Log security-relevant events
    • Set up alerts for suspicious behavior

Known Security Considerations

Browser Extension Security

  • The Chrome extension requires broad permissions to interact with meeting platforms
  • Extension code is visible to users and should not contain secrets
  • Regular security reviews of extension permissions and functionality

Recording Data Security

  • Recordings contain sensitive meeting content
  • Proper encryption and access controls are essential
  • Consider legal and compliance requirements for data handling

Authentication and Authorization

  • Bot tokens and API keys provide significant access
  • Implement proper token rotation and revocation procedures
  • Monitor for unauthorized bot usage

  1. Private Disclosure: Initial report and discussion remain private
  2. Coordinated Disclosure: We work with reporters to understand and fix issues
  3. Public Disclosure: After fixes are available, we may publish security advisories
