high Nessus Plugin ID 161702

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an application installed that is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of Zoom Client for Meetings for Windows installed on the remote host is prior to 5.9.7. It is, therefore, affected by privilege escalation vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via the installer repair operation, to gain privileged access to the system.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Zoom Client for Meetings 5.9.7 or later.
