CVE-2022-36926

Root command execution via undisclosed command injection

Published Jan 9, 2023 · Updated Apr 9, 2025

OS command injection in Zoom Rooms for macOS before 5.11.3 allows local users to execute commands with root privileges. Zoom has not disclosed the affected command-execution locus or how attacker-controlled data reaches an operating-system command. A low-privileged local account is required; successful exploitation yields root control over the room computer without user interaction.
