Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2018-0379 affects Cisco Webex Network Recording Player handling of ARF and WRF recording files. A targeted user could receive a malicious recording file or URL and, if they open it, the attacker could run code on that user’s system. Exposure is most likely on workstations that have Cisco Webex ARF or WRF recording players installed from Webex Meetings Suite, Webex Meetings Online, or Webex Meetings Server. Treat this as a targeted workstation risk, not an internet-facing server emergency. Prioritize environments where Webex recording players are widely installed or users commonly exchange recording files. Mitigation focus: Review Cisco’s advisory for affected and fixed player versions.; Update or remove affected Webex Network Recording Player installations.; Warn users not to open unexpected ARF or WRF files..
