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
    Check Programs and Features on Windows, or Applications folder on macOS, or use 'dpkg -l | grep -i zoom' or 'rpm -qa | grep -i zoom' on Linux to list installed Zoom packages
    Affected if Any Zoom product from the affected list is installed (Zoom Workplace Desktop, Zoom Rooms, Zoom Rooms Controller, Zoom Meeting SDK, Zoom Workplace VDI)
  2. Check Zoom Workplace Desktop version
    Open Zoom app, click your profile picture or Help > About Zoom, or check Windows Registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ZoomUMX, or run 'zoom --version' if available
    Affected if Version is less than 6.3.0
  3. Check Zoom Rooms version
    Open Zoom Rooms controller interface, navigate to Settings > Account or Room settings to view version, or check installer on the Rooms PC
    Affected if Version is less than 6.3.0
  4. Check Zoom Rooms Controller version
    Check the controller device (typically a tablet) app version in Settings > About, or check the paired Zoom Rooms version
    Affected if Version is less than 6.3.0
  5. Check Zoom Meeting SDK version
    Review project dependencies or installed package version (check package.json, pom.xml, or equivalent for zoom SDK package version)
    Affected if SDK version is less than 6.3.0
  6. Check Zoom Workplace VDI version
    Check the virtual desktop agent version through the VDI hypervisor console or the installed VDI client on the virtual machine
    Affected if Version is less than 6.1.16, or between 6.1.17 and 6.2.11 inclusive

You are affected if any Zoom product from the affected list is installed and its version falls below the fixed version thresholds (6.3.0 for most products, or between 6.1.16 and 6.2.11 for VDI).

Fixed in 6.1.166.2.126.3.0
Interim mitigation

Apply Zoom's published security patches for this vulnerability to all affected Zoom Workplace installations; prioritize systems with network exposure.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to version 6.3.0 for Workplace Desktop, Meeting SDK, Rooms, Rooms Controller, and Workplace products; for VDI, upgrade to 6.1.16+ (if < 6.1.16) or 6.2.12+ (if >= 6.1.17 and < 6.2.12)

  1. 1. Identify the specific Zoom product in use (Workplace Desktop, Meeting SDK, Rooms, Rooms Controller, Workplace, or Workplace VDI)
  2. 2. Determine the current installed version from the application's About or Settings menu
  3. 3. For Workplace Desktop, Meeting SDK, Rooms, Rooms Controller, and Workplace: Download and install version 6.3.0 or later from the official Zoom download center
  4. 4. For Workplace Virtual Desktop Infrastructure: If currently on version < 6.1.16, upgrade to 6.1.16 or later; if currently on version >= 6.1.17 and < 6.2.12, upgrade to 6.2.12 or later; if on version 6.1.16.x or 6.2.12+, no action needed
  5. 5. Restart the application after upgrade
  6. 6. Verify the new version is 6.3.0+ (or 6.2.12+ / 6.1.16+ for VDI specifically)
