It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-34412 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zoom Client for Meetings for Windows. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-34412/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-34412/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-34412","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-34412/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-34412","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hv75-x87g-889h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Zoom Client for Meetings","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by launching Internet Explorer during installation if the installer runs with elevated privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Zoom","cpe":[{"product":"meetings","vendor":"zoom"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"During the installation process for all versions of the Zoom Client for Meetings for Windows before 5.4.0, it is possible to launch Internet Explorer.
