CVE-2025-62482 identifies a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability classified under CWE-79 in Zoom Communications Inc.'s Zoom Workplace product for Windows, affecting versions before 6.5.10. The vulnerability arises from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing an attacker to inject malicious scripts into the application interface. This flaw can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring authentication, although user interaction is necessary to trigger the malicious payload. The vulnerability primarily impacts the integrity of the application by enabling script injection that could alter displayed content or manipulate user interactions within the Zoom Workplace environment. The CVSS v3.1 score is 4.3 (medium), reflecting low complexity of attack (low attack complexity), no privileges required, and user interaction needed, with no direct confidentiality or availability impact. No known exploits have been reported in the wild as of the publication date (November 13, 2025). The vulnerability's root cause is insufficient input validation and output encoding during dynamic web page generation within the Zoom Workplace client, which could allow attackers to craft malicious payloads that execute in the context of the victim's session. This could lead to session manipulation, phishing attempts, or unauthorized actions performed under the guise of the legitimate user interface. The vulnerability affects Windows clients specifically, and the absence of a patch link suggests that users should upgrade to version 6.5.10 or later once available or follow vendor guidance for mitigation.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk primarily to the integrity of communications and user interactions within Zoom Workplace. Attackers exploiting this XSS flaw could inject malicious scripts that manipulate displayed content, potentially misleading users or causing unauthorized actions such as sending fraudulent messages or commands. Although confidentiality and availability are not directly impacted, the integrity compromise could facilitate social engineering or phishing attacks, undermining trust in corporate communications. Organizations heavily reliant on Zoom Workplace for collaboration, especially in sectors like finance, government, and critical infrastructure, may face increased risk of targeted attacks exploiting this vulnerability. The requirement for user interaction means that phishing or social engineering campaigns could be used to trigger the exploit. Given the widespread adoption of Zoom in Europe, particularly in countries with large remote workforces, the vulnerability could have broad implications if left unmitigated.

1. Upgrade Zoom Workplace for Windows to version 6.5.10 or later as soon as the patch is available to ensure the vulnerability is remediated. 2. Until patching is possible, implement network-level controls such as web filtering and intrusion detection systems to monitor and block suspicious payloads targeting Zoom Workplace. 3. Enforce strict input validation and output encoding on any custom integrations or plugins interacting with Zoom Workplace to reduce injection risks. 4. Educate users about the risks of clicking on unsolicited links or executing unexpected actions within Zoom communications to reduce the likelihood of successful exploitation via social engineering. 5. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual activity indicative of attempted XSS exploitation or anomalous user behavior. 6. Coordinate with IT and security teams to apply application whitelisting and endpoint protection measures that can detect and prevent script-based attacks. 7. Review and tighten browser security settings and sandboxing where Zoom Workplace interfaces with web content to limit script execution capabilities.
