A vulnerability in Cisco WebEx Meetings could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to perform reflected cross-site scripting attacks.
The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the affected software. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a user to click a crafted URL that is designed to submit malicious code to the affected software.
Cisco has confirmed the vulnerability and released software updates.
To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker may provide a link to the user and convince the user to follow the link by using misleading language and instructions.
