CWE Code: 78
Vulnerability Type: privilege_escalation
CVSS Score: 7.2
CWE Name:  Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
Summary: a vulnerability in the update service of cisco webex meetings desktop app for windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary commands as a privileged user. the vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied parameters. an attacker could exploit this vulnerability by invoking the update service command with a crafted argument. an exploit could allow the attacker to run arbitrary commands with system user privileges. while the cvss attack vector metric denotes the requirement for an attacker to have local access, administrators should be aware that in active directory deployments, the vulnerability could be exploited remotely by leveraging the operating system remote management tools.
Access Authentication: NONE
Access Complexity: LOW
Access Vector: LOCAL
