Local privilege escalation via software downgrade
Published Dec 10, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Protection mechanism failure in Zoom Rooms for Windows before 6.6.0 allows local users to elevate privileges through a software downgrade. Zoom identifies the failure as software-downgrade protection but has not published the affected component or the validation operation that fails. Successful exploitation grants higher local privileges; the public record does not identify the resulting account or integrity level.
