Description

The version of Zoom Client for Meetings installed on the remote host is prior to 5.7.3. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ZSB-21021 advisory.

- The Zoom Client for Meetings before version 5.7.3 (for Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows) contain a server side request forgery vulnerability in the chat's link preview functionality.
