CVE-2018-15422 describes a critical vulnerability in Cisco Webex Network Recording Player and Cisco Webex Player for Windows, affecting Webex Business Suite and Meetings products. This flaw, stemming from improper validation of ARF and WRF files, allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a user's system if they open a specially crafted malicious file. Rated 7.8 HIGH, exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) via a malicious file, but could lead to full compromise (C:H/I:H/A:H).
