Published Aug 11, 2026 · Updated Aug 11, 2026

Path traversal in Zoom Workplace VDI Client for Windows and VDI Plugins before 7.0.11 or 6.6.15 allows local users to disclose information. Zoom has not published the file-processing locus or how attacker-controlled path components escape the intended directory. Low-privileged local access is required without user interaction; Zoom reports information disclosure but does not identify the exposed files.
