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 server's admin interface or check the version through the management console. Look for the build or version information typically displayed in the system status or about section.
    Affected if The displayed version equals exactly 2.6.0 or 2.6.1.39
  2. Verify exact version string via command line or config file
    If available, run the command 'show version' or locate the version file in the installation directory (commonly in /opt/webex or similar paths depending on installation). Compare the full version string against the affected versions.
    Affected if The version string matches 2.6.0 or 2.6.1.39 exactly
  3. Check build number via WebEx management interface
    Log into the WebEx Meetings Server administration portal and navigate to the system information or diagnostics section to confirm the precise build and version number.
    Affected if The build number corresponds to version 2.6.0 or 2.6.1.39

The environment is affected only if the installed Cisco WebEx Meetings Server version is exactly 2.6.0 or 2.6.1.39.
