Privilege escalation via undisclosed path traversal
Published Aug 8, 2023 · Updated Oct 10, 2024
Path traversal in Zoom Desktop Client for Windows before 5.14.7 allows remote attackers to enable privilege escalation via network access. Zoom has not published the affected component, traversed path, or unsafe file operation that turns network input into privilege escalation. Exploitation requires user interaction, and the published impact is limited to confidentiality loss and a service interruption without reported data modification.
