An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-43586 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zoom Meeting Software Development Kit. 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-2023-43586/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43586/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-43586","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43586/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-43586","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m4mq-h54p-47ph"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Zoom Windows Client","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated user can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in Zoom Windows clients to escalate privileges via network access.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Zoom","cpe":[{"product":"meeting_software_development_kit","vendor":"zoom"},{"product":"video_software_development_kit","vendor":"zoom"},{"product":"virtual_desktop_infrastructure","vendor":"zoom"},{"product":"zoom","vendor":"zoom"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"},{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"Path traversal in Zoom Desktop Client for Windows, Zoom VDI Client for Windows, and Zoom SDKs for Windows may allow an authenticated user to conduct an escalation of privilege via network access.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in Zoom Desktop Client for Windows, Zoom VDI Client for Windows and Zoom SDKs for Windows","id":"CVE-2023-43586","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"zoom:meeting_software_development_kit","products":["zoom:meeting_software_development_kit","zoom:zoom"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Zoom Clients","id":"CVE-2023-43588"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Zoom Mobile App for iOS and SDKs for iOS","id":"CVE-2023-43585"},"products":["Zoom Desktop Client for Windows, Zoom VDI Client for Windows and Zoom SDKs for Windows"],"published":"2023-12-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Zoom Clients for Windows - Untrusted Search Path","id":"CVE-2025-49457","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Zoom Desktop Client for Windows, Zoom VDI Client for Windows, and Zoom Meeting SDK for Windows","id":"CVE-2024-24691","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Zoom Workplace Apps - Time-of-check Time-of-use","id":"CVE-2025-30663","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Zoom Workplace App for Linux - Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2025-0147","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Zoom Desktop Client for Windows - Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2023-49647","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-12"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Zoom Apps - Use After Free","id":"CVE-2025-0151","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Zoom Apps - Buffer Underflow","id":"CVE-2025-27439","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-25","vendors":["Zoom Video Communications, Inc."]},"summary":"An authenticated user can exploit a path traversal vulnerability in Zoom Windows clients to escalate privileges via network access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43586/"}
