Zoom has identified two critical security vulnerabilities in its Zoom Rooms software for Windows and macOS. These vulnerabilities, tracked as ZSB-25050 and ZSB-25051, could be exploited by attackers with local access to escalate privileges or expose sensitive information. The vulnerabilities affect versions prior to 6.6.0 and have been assigned high-to-medium CVSS scores.

Zoom recommends updating to version 6.6.0 or later to address these vulnerabilities. Updates are available on the official download page . Although there is currently no evidence of active exploitation, the local-access vector presents risks, particularly from insider threats or compromised endpoints.

These vulnerabilities underscore the importance of regularly auditing collaboration tools, enforcing least-privilege access, and monitoring for potential downgrade attempts. CISA has not yet issued alerts regarding these vulnerabilities, but they are expected to be listed in vulnerability trackers like NVD soon.
