Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Integrity check in the installer for some Zoom Workplace Apps and SDKs for Windows may allow an authenticated user to conduct a privilege escalation via local access.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify installed Zoom product on Windows
    Open Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps, or use PowerShell: Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*, HKLM:\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\* | Select-Object DisplayName, DisplayVersion | Where-Object {$_.DisplayName -like '*Zoom*'}
    Affected if A Zoom Meeting SDK, Zoom Rooms, or Zoom Workplace Desktop product is listed with a version number below 6.0.10 (for Meeting SDK or Workplace Desktop) or below 5.17.13 (for Zoom Rooms)
  2. Verify exact version number
    Right-click the Zoom application in the installed apps list and select Advanced, or use the Zoom app itself: Click the user profile picture > Check for Updates to see current version
    Affected if The displayed version is less than 6.0.10 for Zoom Meeting SDK or Zoom Workplace Desktop, or less than 5.17.13 for Zoom Rooms
  3. Confirm Windows installer vulnerability context
    Check the Zoom installer package in Program Files (typically C:\Program Files\Zoom or C:\Program Files (x86)\Zoom) for the installer executable (e.g., ZoomInstaller.exe, ZoomSetup.exe) and note its file version via right-click > Properties > Details
    Affected if The installer file version is present and corresponds to an unpatched Zoom product version in the affected ranges

A system is affected if any Zoom product (Meeting SDK, Rooms, or Workplace Desktop) for Windows is installed with a version lower than 6.0.10 (or 5.17.13 for Zoom Rooms), since the installer integrity check flaw could allow local privilege escalation.
