Technical Analysis

CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor

Reaching this weakness in Video Conferencing with Zoom < 3.8.17 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Sensitive information exposure means data the application intended to keep internal is returned to a caller who should not be able to see it.

The disclosed data — credentials, tokens, customer records or internal paths — is usually worth more as material for a follow-up attack than as an end in itself. For Video Conferencing with Zoom the fix is 3.8.17: builds < 3.8.17 are affected, anything from 3.8.17 onward is not.

Remediation

Update to version 3.8.17, or a newer patched version

How does WordSec protect against this?

The fix is the thing that ends this: Video Conferencing with Zoom 3.8.17 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
