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
Improper Privilege Management in certain Zoom Clients for Windows may allow an authenticated user to conduct an escalation of privilege 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 · moderate confidence

Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in certain Zoom Clients for Windows allows an authenticated local user to escalate privileges. The vulnerability stems from insufficient access control mechanisms within the Zoom client software, enabling a user with standard Windows account access to gain elevated (administrator) privileges on the local system.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied security patch by updating affected Zoom Client for Windows installations to the latest patched version. Organizations should inventory deployed Zoom versions, prioritize updates for systems with local users, and verify successful patching through endpoint management tooling.

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 Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features, or check C:\Program Files\Zoom or C:\Program Files (x86)\Zoom for Zoom executables. Look for 'Zoom Rooms', 'Zoom Workplace Desktop', or 'Zoom Workplace VDI' in the program name.
    Affected if Any Zoom client for Windows is installed
  2. Determine Zoom version number
    In Zoom client, click your profile picture > Settings > About, or right-click Zoom.exe in Program Files and select Properties > Details to view File Version.
    Affected if Version cannot be determined or is below affected ranges
  3. Compare desktop client version against affected ranges
    If using Zoom Workplace Desktop (non-VDI), compare your version to < 6.6.0. If version is lower, you are affected.
    Affected if Version is less than 6.6.0 for Zoom Workplace Desktop
  4. Compare Zoom Rooms version against affected ranges
    If using Zoom Rooms, compare your version to < 6.6.0. If version is lower, you are affected.
    Affected if Version is less than 6.6.0 for Zoom Rooms
  5. Compare VDI client version against affected ranges
    If using Zoom Workplace VDI, compare version to: >= 6.4.0 and < 6.4.15; OR >= 6.5.0 and < 6.5.13; OR >= 6.6.0 and < 6.6.10. Any of these ranges indicate vulnerability.
    Affected if Version falls into any of the three vulnerable VDI ranges

Your environment is affected if any Zoom client for Windows (Rooms, Workplace Desktop, or Workplace VDI) is installed with a version that falls below 6.6.0 (Desktop/Rooms) or within the specified VDI ranges.

Interim mitigation

Apply the vendor-supplied security patch by updating affected Zoom Client for Windows installations to the latest patched version.

Recommended fix High confidence

Rooms: 6.6.0+ | Workplace Desktop: 6.6.0+ | Workplace VDI: 6.4.15+, 6.5.13+, or 6.6.10+

  1. 1. Identify which Zoom product is installed (Rooms, Workplace Desktop, or Workplace Virtual Desktop Infrastructure)
  2. 2. Check current installed version by opening the Zoom client and navigating to the version information (typically in Help > About)
  3. 3. For Rooms and Workplace Desktop users: Download and install version 6.6.0 or later from the official Zoom website (zoom.us)
  4. 4. For Workplace VDI users: Determine your current VDI version (6.4.x, 6.5.x, or 6.6.x) and upgrade to the corresponding fixed version: 6.4.15 or higher, 6.5.13 or higher, or 6.6.10 or higher
  5. 5. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number again after installation
  6. 6. Restart the Zoom client to ensure all components are updated
Caveat Standard upgrade to latest Zoom client typically has minimal risk; ensure compatibility with your organization's Zoom infrastructure
