Symlink following in the installer for Zoom Workplace App for macOS before 6.2.10 may allow an authenticated user to conduct a denial of service via local access.

Weakness

The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Meeting_software_development_kit Zoom * 6.2.10 (excluding)
Rooms Zoom * 6.2.10 (excluding)
Rooms_controller Zoom * 6.2.10 (excluding)
Video_software_development_kit Zoom * 6.2.10 (excluding)
Workplace_desktop Zoom * 6.2.10 (excluding)

Potential Mitigations

  • Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
  • Denying access to a file can prevent an attacker from replacing that file with a link to a sensitive file. Ensure good compartmentalization in the system to provide protected areas that can be trusted.
