Introduction to uccx.1251.ES02.zip
The uccx.1251.ES02.zip is Cisco’s critical service update package for Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 12.5(1) deployments, released on March 15, 2025. This emergency service (ES) bundle addresses CVE-2025-1128 XMPP vulnerability while optimizing resource allocation for hybrid contact center environments integrating Webex Control Hub 46.2+.
Designed for enterprises managing 500+ concurrent agents, this 1.2GB package supports both on-premises UCS C240 M6 servers and VMware vSphere 8.0 U3 virtualized deployments. It introduces hardware-accelerated TLS 1.3 session resumption for Finesse clients and enhances database purge operations through SHA-256 authenticated batch processing.
