Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Heap-based buffer overflow in the Cisco WebEx Recording Format (WRF) player T27 L through SP11 EP26, T27 LB through SP21 EP10, T27 LC before SP25 EP11, T27 LD before SP32 CP2, and T28 L10N before SP1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted WRF file, aka Bug ID CSCtz72977.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in Cisco WebEx Recording Format (WRF) player allows remote code execution via specially crafted WRF files. The flaw affects multiple T27 and T28 player versions. Exploitation requires user interaction to open a malicious WRF file.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied patches/updates to upgrade affected WebEx player versions to the fixed releases (SP25 EP11 or later for T27 LC, SP32 CP2 or later for T27 LD, SP1 or later for T28 L10N). Consider disabling WRF file handling or implementing file-type validation at the gateway until patches are deployed.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify WebEx WRF player installation
    Locate the Cisco WebEx Recording Format Player installation on the system. Check common installation directories or use system tools to find the player software and its version information.
    Affected if The player is installed and the version falls within any of the following ranges: 27.11.0-27.11.26, 27.21.0-27.21.10, 27.25.0-27.25.10, 27.32.0-27.32.1, or 28.0.0-28.0.0
  2. Retrieve installed player version
    Access the player version through the application interface, system registry, or version information embedded in the player executable. Compare the numeric version against the affected ranges provided.
    Affected if The installed version number is greater than or equal to 27.11.0 and less than or equal to 27.11.26, OR greater than or equal to 27.21.0 and less than or equal to 27.21.10, OR greater than or equal to 27.25.0 and less than 27.25.11, OR greater than or equal to 27.32.0 and less than 27.32.2, OR great
  3. Assess WRF file handling exposure
    Determine if the system is configured to handle .WRF files through the WebEx player. Check file association settings or user workflows that involve opening WebEx recording files.
    Affected if The WRF file type is associated with the vulnerable player version and users can be persuaded to open untrusted WRF files

The environment is affected if the installed Cisco WebEx Recording Format Player version falls within any of the specified vulnerable ranges and the system handles WRF files through that player.

Fixed in 27.25.1127.32.228.0.1
Interim mitigation

Apply vendor-supplied patches/updates to upgrade affected WebEx player versions to the fixed releases (SP25 EP11 or later for T27 LC, SP32 CP2 or later for T27 LD, SP1 or later for T28 L10N). Consider disabling WRF file handling or implementing file-type validation at the gateway until patches are deployed.

Recommended fix High confidence
