Cisco fixes new Jabber for Windows critical code execution bug
2020-12-10 11:00

Cisco has addressed a new critical severity remote code execution vulnerability affecting several versions of Cisco Jabber for Windows, macOS, and mobile platforms after patching a related security bug in September.

Cisco released security updates in September to address a critical RCE security vulnerability tracked as CVE-2020-3495 stemming from a Cross-Site Scripting bug in Cisco Jabber.

Just as the previous flaw, the newly discovered RCE vulnerability tracked as CVE-2020-26085 is an XSS bug that can allow attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely by escaping Cisco Jabber's CEF sandbox.

The third and last vulnerability discovered while auditing Cisco's September patches is caused by a command injection bug in the app's custom protocol handlers that can enable attackers to take over the browser embedded in the targets' Cisco Jabber client.

25th September 2020: New vulnerabilities discovered and reported to Cisco PSIRT. Case number assigned by Cisco.
