Summary
o A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Webex Video
Mesh could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary
commands on the affected system.
The vulnerability is due to improper validation of user-supplied input by
the web-based management interface of the affected software. An attacker
could exploit this vulnerability by logging in to the web-based management
interface with administrative privileges and supplying crafted requests to
the application. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute
arbitrary commands on the underlying Linux operating system with root
privileges on a targeted node.

Fixed Software
o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability
described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support

feature sets, or major revision upgrades.
When considering software upgrades , customers are advised to regularly
consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the
Cisco Security Advisories and Alerts page , 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.
