Is IBM Connections Cloud Meetings safe?
IBM Connections Cloud Meetings bridges IBM Sametime meeting pages to a local native messaging host using a payload-field origin gate instead of event.origin.
The extension injects a script into IBM Sametime meeting room and web-player pages and relays window.postMessage messages to a background service that connects to the native host com.ibm.webplayer. The postMessage listener checks a hardcoded string in the message payload ('WPCE') rather than the standard event.origin field, meaning any script running in the same meeting page can trigger native messaging calls. No user data is transmitted to remote servers; all communication stays between the browser and the local IBM WebPlayer application.
