CVE-2022-28762

Local application control via exposed debugging port

Published Oct 14, 2022 · Updated May 14, 2025

Debugging port misconfiguration in Zoom Client for Meetings for macOS 5.10.6 and later before 5.12.0 allows local users to control Zoom Apps. Running certain Zoom Apps with camera-mode rendering enabled causes the Zoom App Layers API to open a local debugging port without restricting another local user's connection. Access requires local execution and the feature-triggering Zoom App state; the connection grants control only over Zoom Apps running inside the client.
