Corollary 7.6.2.19. Let $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be an $\infty $-category and let $\sigma : \Delta ^1 \times \Delta ^1 \rightarrow \operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$ be a commutative square, which we represent by a diagram
Suppose that ${\bf 1}$ is a final object of $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$. Then $\sigma $ is a pullback square if and only if the morphisms $f_0$ and $f_1$ exhibit $X$ as a product of $X_0$ with $X_1$ in the $\infty $-category $\operatorname{\mathcal{C}}$.
