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 installed Cisco WebEx Meetings Server version
    Access the administration interface or check system files to retrieve the current software version number
    Affected if The installed version is 1.5(.1.131) or earlier, including exactly version 1.5 or 1.5(.1.6)
  2. Confirm WebEx Meetings Server web interface is accessible
    Verify the Cisco WebEx Meetings Server web application is running and reachable on the network
    Affected if The web interface is exposed and accessible to users or attackers
  3. Determine if state-changing operations lack CSRF protection
    Inspect forms and requests for state-changing actions (such as user management, meeting configuration, or settings modifications) and verify whether anti-CSRF tokens or SameSite cookie attributes are present
    Affected if State-changing POST/PUT/DELETE requests do not include unique anti-CSRF tokens or the session cookies lack SameSite attributes

A user is affected if their Cisco WebEx Meetings Server version is 1.5(.1.131) or earlier and the web application lacks anti-CSRF tokens on state-changing operations.
