The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) issued a vulnerability report for Webex on June 10, 2024.
As IT security is a very high priority for RWTH Aachen University, the issue is taken very seriously by both the IT Center as a whole and the relevant specialist department.
Following discussions with the manufacturer Cisco and our own intensive review, we were able to establish that RWTH and its Webex users are not affected by the security incidents.
The necessary security precautions had already been implemented at RWTH before Webex was introduced.
For more information on the vulnerability discovered by the BSI, please refer to the corresponding page in the IT security section.
Instructions for using Webex can be found on IT Center Help.
