CVE-2025-20328
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 · uneditedA vulnerability in the user profile component of Cisco Webex Meetings could have allowed an authenticated, remote attacker with low privileges to conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack against a user of the web-based interface. Cisco has addressed this vulnerability in the Cisco Webex Meetings service, and no customer action is needed. This vulnerability existed because of insufficient validation of user-supplied input to the user profile component of Cisco Webex Meetings. Prior to this vulnerability being addressed, an attacker could have exploited this vulnerability by persuading a user of the interface to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could have allowed the attacker to conduct an XSS attack against the targeted user.
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 confidenceA cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability existed in the user profile component of Cisco Webex Meetings due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. An authenticated attacker with low privileges could inject malicious scripts through the user profile that would execute when other users viewed the profile or clicked crafted links.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm your organization uses Cisco Webex MeetingsReview your installed applications, SaaS subscriptions, or IT assets for Cisco Webex MeetingsAffected if Your environment uses Cisco Webex Meetings for meetings and collaboration
-
Identify if user profile functionality is accessibleLog into Webex Meetings as a low-privilege user and navigate to the user profile settings area (typically under Profile or Account settings)Affected if User profile editing functionality is available and enabled in your Webex site
-
Verify profile viewing is enabled for other usersAs a different user, attempt to view the profile of the low-privilege user or check if profile links are shareableAffected if Other users can view profiles or click profile-based links within Webex Meetings
Your environment is affected if you use Cisco Webex Meetings and user profiles are accessible to authenticated users, since Cisco has already addressed this server-side for all versions.
