Cisco has released patches to address more than a dozen vulnerabilities across various products, including two code execution bugs in Webex Player that could be exploited remotely. Tracked as CVE-2020-3127 and CVE-2020-3128 and rated high severity, the issues reside in the insufficient validation of elements within a Webex recording stored as ARF or WRF. To exploit the bugs, an attacker needs to send a malicious ARF or WRF file and trick the victim into opening the file the local system, which could result in arbitrary code being executed with the privileges of the targeted user.
