The Zoom Opener installer for Zoom Client for Meetings before version 5.10.3 and Zoom Rooms for Conference Room for Windows before version 5.10.3 are susceptible to a DLL injection attack. This vulnerability could be used to run arbitrary code on the victims host.
The Zoom Client for Meetings for Windows before version 5.10.0 and Zoom Rooms for Conference Room for Windows before version 5.10.0, fails to properly check the installation version during the update process. This issue could be used in a more sophisticated attack to trick a user into downgrading their Zoom client to a less secure version.
It was discovered that the installation packages of the Zoom Client for Meetings for MacOS (Standard and for IT Admin) installation before version 5.2.0, Zoom Client Plugin for Sharing iPhone/iPad before version 5.2.0, and Zoom Rooms for Conference before version 5.1.0, copy pre- and post- installation shell scripts to a user-writable directory. In the affected products listed below, a malicious actor with local access to a user's machine could use this flaw to potentially run arbitrary system commands in a higher privileged context during the installation process.
During the installation process forZoom Rooms for Conference Room for Windows before version 5.3.0 it is possible to launch Internet Explorer with elevated privileges. If the installer was launched with elevated privileges such as by SCCM this can result in a local privilege escalation.
