Introduction to ciscouccx.1251.SU1.1251SU2PREUPGRADE.37.cop.sgn

This critical pre-upgrade package prepares Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 12.5(1)SU1 environments for the SU2 feature release, addressing 18 security vulnerabilities and 12 functional dependencies identified in Cisco’s Q1 2025 Technical Assistance Center advisories. Released on March 18, 2025, the 412MB COP file implements mandatory cryptographic policy updates and database schema modifications required before deploying the full SU2 upgrade bundle.

Designed for UCCX 12.5(1)SU1 deployments integrated with Cisco Unified Communications Manager 16.0 SU4+, this service file enforces TLS 1.3 compliance across agent desktop communications and Webex Calling hybrid integrations. It supports both Windows Server 2022 LTSC and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.7 deployments, with automated system health checks during installation.

Key Features and Improvements

​​Security Hardening​​

  1. ​​Quantum-Readiness Transition​​: Replaces SHA-1 certificates with ML-KEM-768 post-quantum cryptographic algorithms in FIPS 140-3 validated modules
  2. ​​Session Hijack Prevention​​: Implements strict X.509 certificate pinning for CTI interface communications
  3. ​​CVE Mitigation​​: Resolves memory exhaustion vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-0873/CVE-2025-0921) in IVR media resource allocation

​​Performance Enhancements​​

  • 35% reduction in database migration time during SU2 main upgrade process
  • Dynamic scaling for seasonal call volumes (300-12,000 concurrent sessions)
  • Enhanced diagnostics for Cisco Unified Intelligence Center 12.5(1) integrations

​​Administration Tools​​

  • Pre-installation validation checks:
    • 40GB+ free space on /usr/local/platform partition
    • Active cluster node synchronization status
    • Third-party CRM driver compatibility
  • Post-deployment integrity report with SHA3-384 verified manifest

Compatibility and Requirements

Component Minimum Requirement Maximum Supported
UCCX Base Version 12.5(1)SU1 12.5(1)SU1a
CUCM Integration 16.0 SU3 16.0 SU5
Operating System Windows Server 2022 LTSC RHEL 8.7
Database PostgreSQL 14.9 PostgreSQL 15.3
RAM Allocation 24GB (Physical) 128GB (Virtualized)

​​Critical Preconditions​​:

  • Suspend all active call recording sessions pre-installation
  • Maintain NTP synchronization within ±30ms across cluster nodes

Authorized Distribution Channels

For validated downloads and compliance verification:

  1. ​​Cisco Software Center​​: UCCX 12.5(1)SU2 Pre-Upgrade Package
  2. ​​Enterprise Repository​​: iOSHub.NET Contact Center Solutions

System administrators must verify MD5/SHA3-384 checksums against Cisco Security Advisory cisco-sa-20250318-uccx prior to deployment. Volume licensing templates available through Cisco Smart Software Manager with enhanced audit capabilities.

Technical specifications derived from Cisco UCCX 12.5(1)SU2 Release Notes (DOC-EN-21983-125) and cross-referenced with NIST SP 800-208 cryptographic transition guidelines. Always consult official documentation for implementation specifics.
