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

Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity in Zoom Contact Center for Windows Remote Control before version 7.0.0 allows an authenticated user to achieve privilege escalation via local access. The vulnerability stems from the remote control feature not properly validating the authenticity of data or commands, enabling a locally authenticated attacker to elevate privileges.

MitigationUpgrade Zoom Contact Center for Windows to version 7.0.0 or later to obtain the patched component.
