I'm working with our desktop team to add all of the WebEx Extensions related to our web browsers added to a white list of apps that can be installed. Where can I find the WebEx Extensions for Chrome, Firefox, IE and Edge? A general search on the Cisco site doesn't yield.

• Webex Extension For Google Chrome
• Webex Teams Chrome Extension
• Google Webex Extension

• To use calling or meetings features, you must use Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. To update Webex to the latest version, refresh your browser. Calls made through Webex for Web connect using a switching server and do not support mid-call renegotiation. As a result, call quality may drop or even fail as network conditions change.

Besides its scope – the vulnerability impacts the some 20 million enterprise users running the WebEx extension — the vulnerability is also a case study in how security teams can protect the business despite user behavior.

Browser extensions allow developers to add modules that extend access to browser data for delivering the best app experiences. Cisco Webex extensions for Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari allow users to launch the Cisco Webex Meetings desktop app when they visit a Cisco Webex site (cloud or on-premises) to start or join a meeting.

An extension’s access to browser data is limited by how granular the browser platform permissions are. Given that browsers can’t limit permissions to extensions today, when an extension needs access to browsing data, the browser instead shows a default severe warning to users to confirm that they trust the extension that they’re installing.

For example, third-party extension installation instructions from Safari (given here) show that a severe warning will appear when installing any extension that needs to connect to the page. While malicious extensions can take advantage of the broadened access, extensions from trusted sources are there to safely enhance the user experience.

Webex Extension For Google Chrome

The Cisco Webex extension is only loaded and brought to action by the browser when the browser detects a specially crafted string in the page being loaded. The extension never reads any data from the page being loaded; it’s used by the page to launch the desktop app.

Browsers will load the Cisco Webex extension when a user accesses a page on *.webex.com domains, or any other domain for use with Cisco’s on-premises Webex offering (that is, Cisco Webex Meetings Server), to allow users to start or join meetings.

The source code of the browser extension is deployed on users’ machines, and a technically savvy user can validate the extent of the extension’s activities. Most endpoint security companies and software online reputation companies also watch out for unsafe extensions and notify the community and the end users.
