The remote host has an application installed that is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of Zoom Client for Meetings installed on the remote host is prior to 5.3.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ZSB-21004 advisory.

- A user-writable directory created during the installation of the Zoom Client for Meetings for Windows version prior to version 5.3.2 can be redirected to another location using a junction.
