Zoom Client 5.7.3 < 5.11.5 Privilege Escalation

high Nessus Plugin ID 164143

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of the Zoom Client installed on the remote host is between 5.7.3 and 5.11.5. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability in the auto-update process. A local low-privileged user could exploit this vulnerability to escalate their privileges to root.

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 5.11.5 or later.
