high Nessus Plugin ID 184373

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Zoom VDI Meeting Client installed on the remote host is prior to 5.14.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ZSB-23012 advisory.

- Improper privilege management in Zoom for Windows, Zoom Rooms for Windows, and Zoom VDI for Windows clients before 5.14.0 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable an escalation of privilege via local access. Users may potentially utilize higher level system privileges maintained by the Zoom client to spawn processes with escalated privileges. (CVE-2023-34120)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
