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
Cross site scripting in some Zoom Workplace Apps may allow an unauthenticated user to conduct a loss of integrity via adjacent network 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 · moderate confidence

This is a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in certain Zoom Workplace Applications that allows an unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access to inject malicious scripts, compromising the integrity of user sessions or data.

MitigationApply Zoom's available patches for affected Workplace Apps and implement output encoding/context-aware sanitization for user-supplied data in web interfaces.

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
    Open the Zoom application, click your profile picture or initials in the top right, then look for 'About Zoom' or 'Check for Updates' to see which Zoom product is installed (Zoom Workplace Desktop, Zoom Rooms, Zoom Rooms Controller, or Zoom Workplace VDI)
    Affected if Any Zoom product from the affected list is installed
  2. Determine installed version number
    In the Zoom app, go to Help > About (or the About section) to view the exact version number displayed (for Zoom Rooms, check the controller or room display system information)
    Affected if The version shown does not match or is lower than the fixed versions (6.3.10 for Desktop/Workplace/SDK, 6.4.0 for Rooms/Controller, 6.1.16 or 6.2.12 for VDI depending on branch)
  3. Compare against affected version ranges
    Reference the specific range for your product: Desktop/Workplace/SDK < 6.3.10, Rooms/Controller < 6.4.0, VDI < 6.1.16 or >= 6.1.17 and < 6.2.12. If your version falls within any of these ranges, you are potentially affected
    Affected if Your installed version falls within any of the vulnerable ranges listed
  4. Verify web interface exposure
    Check if Zoom Workplace web portals, Zoom Web SDK, or browser-based meeting interfaces are in use on your network, as XSS requires web-based input/output to be exploitable
    Affected if Web-facing Zoom interfaces are accessible and your version is vulnerable

You are affected if you have any Zoom product from the affected list running a version lower than 6.3.10 (Desktop/Workplace/SDK), 6.4.0 (Rooms/Controller), or the VDI ranges, especially if web interfaces are exposed to adjacent network users.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 6.1.16 / 6.2.12 / 6.3.0 or later
Fixed in 6.1.166.2.126.3.0
Interim mitigation

Apply Zoom's available patches for affected Workplace Apps and implement output encoding/context-aware sanitization for user-supplied data in web interfaces.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to: Workplace Desktop 6.3.10, Meeting SDK 6.3.10, Rooms 6.4.0, Rooms Controller 6.4.0, Workplace 6.3.10, or Workplace VDI 6.1.16/6.2.12 as applicable

  1. Identify which Zoom product(s) from the affected list are deployed in your environment
  2. Access the Zoom Download Center (zoom.us/download) or your Zoom admin portal
  3. Download the appropriate fixed version for your product: Workplace Desktop 6.3.10, Meeting SDK 6.3.10, Rooms 6.4.0, Rooms Controller 6.4.0, Workplace App 6.3.10, or Workplace VDI 6.1.16+/6.2.12+
  4. Follow standard Zoom upgrade procedures for your deployment method (MSI/PPKG for managed deployments, direct download for end-users)
  5. Restart the Zoom service/components after upgrade
  6. Verify the installed version matches the fixed release
Caveat Review Zoom release notes for your target version for any feature changes or deprecations before upgrading
