Threat & Defense at a Glance
Threat & Defense Details
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI
Directly remediates the type confusion vulnerability by requiring timely patching of the Zoom Workplace App for Linux to version 6.2.10 or later.
Mitigates exploitation of the type confusion flaw leading to privilege escalation by implementing memory protections against unauthorized code execution.
Detects the presence of vulnerable Zoom Workplace App versions through vulnerability scanning, enabling proactive remediation.
MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI
Why these techniques?
Type confusion in client app directly enables local privilege escalation via crafted network input requiring user interaction.
NVD Description
Type confusion in the Zoom Workplace App for Linux before 6.2.10 may allow an authorized user to conduct an escalation of privilege via network access.
Deeper analysisAI
CVE-2025-0147 is a type confusion vulnerability (CWE-843) affecting the Zoom Workplace App for Linux in versions before 6.2.10. Published on 2025-01-30, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high severity due to its potential for significant impact.
An authorized user can exploit this vulnerability via network access to achieve an escalation of privilege. Per the CVSS vector, exploitation occurs over the network with low attack complexity, requires user interaction but no attacker privileges, and has unchanged scope, enabling high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.
The Zoom security bulletin at https://www.zoom.com/en/trust/security-bulletin/zsb-25006/ provides details on mitigation, which includes updating the Zoom Workplace App for Linux to version 6.2.10 or later.
