## Technical details

A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in Zoom Rooms for Windows (versions prior to 6.6.5) specifically when the application is operating in Kiosk Mode. The flaw stems from improper input validation (CWE-20), which can be leveraged by a locally authenticated user. While the attack requires local access and faces high complexity (AC:H), a successful exploit allows the attacker to gain elevated permissions on the host Windows system. Zoom has addressed this issue in version 6.6.5.
