Is Cisco Webex Extension safe?

Clean risk

Cisco Webex Extension relays meeting-launch messages from Webex pages to the local Webex native app.

On Webex meeting-launch iframe pages, the extension listens for connect, message, and disconnect events and validates launch_meeting messages before passing them on. Accepted messages are forwarded through the browser extension to the local com.webex.meeting native host so the installed Webex app can start or manage a meeting.

Where it sends data

Destinations our analysis observed Cisco Webex Extension contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.

  • com.webex.meeting

    Cisco Webex Extension sends data to com.webex.meeting. No other extension we have analysed sends data here.
