Summary
Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Mac Update Feature Code Execution Vulnerability

Notes

Summary
A vulnerability in the software update feature of Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Mac could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected system. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of cryptographic protections on files that are downloaded by the application as part of a software update. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to go to a website that returns files to the client that are similar to files that are returned from a valid Webex website. The client may fail to properly validate the cryptographic protections of the provided files before executing them as part of an update. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system with the privileges of the user. Cisco has released software updates that address this vulnerability. There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability. This advisory is available at the following link: https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-webex-client-mac-X7vp65BL ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-webex-client-mac-X7vp65BL"]
Vulnerable Products
This vulnerability affects lockdown versions of Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Mac earlier than Release 39.5.11. To determine which release of Cisco Webex Meetings Client for Mac is installed on a system, see the Check the Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App Version ["https://help.webex.com/en-us/0usc4ab/Check-the-Cisco-Webex-Meetings-Desktop-App-Version"] help article.
Products Confirmed Not Vulnerable
Only products listed in the Vulnerable Products ["#vp"] section of this advisory are known to be affected by this vulnerability. Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Windows is not affected by this vulnerability.
Workarounds
There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.
Fixed Software
Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support for software versions and feature sets for which they have purchased a license. By installing, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using such software upgrades, customers agree to follow the terms of the Cisco software license: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/end-user-license-agreement.html ["https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/end-user-license-agreement.html"] Additionally, customers may only download software for which they have a valid license, procured from Cisco directly, or through a Cisco authorized reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software feature sets, or major revision upgrades. When considering software upgrades ["https://sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/center/resources/security_vulnerability_policy.html#fixes"], customers are advised to regularly consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the Cisco Security Advisories and Alerts page ["https://www.cisco.com/go/psirt"], to determine exposure and a complete upgrade solution. In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release. If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance providers. Customers Without Service Contracts Customers who purchase directly from Cisco but do not hold a Cisco service contract and customers who make purchases through third-party vendors but are unsuccessful in obtaining fixed software through their point of sale should obtain upgrades by contacting the Cisco TAC: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-worldwide-contacts.html ["https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/web/tsd-cisco-worldwide-contacts.html"] Customers should have the product serial number available and be prepared to provide the URL of this advisory as evidence of entitlement to a free upgrade. Fixed Releases Cisco fixed this vulnerability in lockdown versions of Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for Mac releases 39.5.11 and later. Administrators can update the Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App for their user bases by following the instructions available in the IT Administrator Guide for Mass Deployment of the Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App ["https://help.webex.com/en-us/nulpixd/IT-Administrator-Guide-for-Mass-Deployment-of-the-Cisco-Webex-Meetings-Desktop-App-WBS33-to-WBS39-9"]. Users can update the Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App by following the instructions in the Update the Cisco Webex Meetings Desktop App ["https://help.webex.com/en-us/n1kwkd6/Update-the-Cisco-Webex-Meetings-Desktop-App"] article.
