Technical details

A vulnerability classified as Improper Authorization (CWE-939) exists in the custom URL scheme handler of Zoom's mobile clients. The root cause is insufficient validation of requests received via these schemes, which allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to trigger actions that should require higher privileges. While the attack vector is network-based, it typically requires user interaction (UI:R) such as clicking a malicious link. Successful exploitation allows for an escalation of privilege, potentially compromising confidentiality and integrity. The issue is resolved in Zoom Workplace for Android version 7.0.4 and iOS version 7.0.3.

Affected products

  • Zoom Workplace before 7.0.4 for Android, before 7.0.3 for iOS
