CVE-2025-58133: CWE-288: Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel in Zoom Communications Inc. Zoom Rooms
Authentication bypass in some Zoom Rooms Clients before version 6.5.1 may allow an unauthenticated user to conduct a disclosure of information via network access.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-58133 is an authentication bypass vulnerability identified in Zoom Communications Inc.'s Zoom Rooms client software versions before 6.5.1. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-288, which involves authentication bypass using an alternate path or channel. Specifically, this flaw allows an unauthenticated attacker with network access to bypass normal authentication mechanisms and gain unauthorized access to certain information within the Zoom Rooms environment. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.3 (medium), with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, indicating that the attack is network-based, requires high attack complexity, no privileges, and some user interaction, and impacts confidentiality but not integrity or availability. The vulnerability does not require prior authentication but does require the attacker to interact with the system, possibly by tricking a user or exploiting a network service. No public exploits or active exploitation in the wild have been reported as of the publication date. The vulnerability affects the confidentiality of information accessible through Zoom Rooms, potentially exposing sensitive meeting data or configuration details. Zoom Rooms is widely used in enterprise and public sector environments for video conferencing and collaboration, making this vulnerability relevant to organizations relying on these services. The absence of a patch link suggests that remediation involves upgrading to Zoom Rooms version 6.5.1 or later, which presumably addresses the authentication bypass. Network segmentation and access controls can further reduce exposure.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-58133 centers on the potential unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information through Zoom Rooms. Given the widespread adoption of Zoom Rooms in corporate, educational, and governmental institutions across Europe, this vulnerability could lead to leakage of confidential meeting content, internal communications, or configuration data. Such information disclosure can undermine organizational confidentiality, potentially exposing strategic plans, personal data, or intellectual property. Although the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability, the breach of confidentiality alone can have severe reputational and regulatory consequences, especially under GDPR requirements. The requirement for network access and user interaction limits the attack surface but does not eliminate risk, particularly in hybrid or remote work environments where network boundaries are less controlled. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not preclude future exploitation. Organizations relying heavily on Zoom Rooms for critical communications should prioritize mitigation to prevent potential data breaches.
Mitigation Recommendations
To mitigate CVE-2025-58133, European organizations should: 1) Immediately upgrade all Zoom Rooms clients to version 6.5.1 or later, as this version addresses the authentication bypass vulnerability. 2) Implement strict network segmentation to limit Zoom Rooms client access only to trusted internal networks and authorized users, reducing exposure to unauthenticated attackers. 3) Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) on associated Zoom accounts and administrative interfaces to add layers of security beyond client authentication. 4) Monitor network traffic for unusual access patterns or attempts to exploit Zoom Rooms services, using intrusion detection systems tuned for anomalous Zoom-related activity. 5) Educate users about the risk of social engineering or phishing attempts that could facilitate the required user interaction for exploitation. 6) Review and tighten firewall and VPN configurations to restrict external network access to Zoom Rooms infrastructure. 7) Maintain up-to-date asset inventories to ensure all Zoom Rooms clients are identified and patched promptly. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on network controls, user awareness, and proactive monitoring tailored to the nature of this vulnerability.
