Zoom Workplace App for Linux: Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type
CVE-2025-0147 is a critical-severity access of resource using incompatible type vulnerability in Zoom Workplace App for Linux from Zoom Communications, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 6.2.10 as the first without the flaw, so updating Zoom Workplace App for Linux to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.61% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update Zoom Workplace App for Linux to 6.2.10 or a later version.
- Update Meeting Software Development Kit to 6.2.10 or a later version.
- Update Video Software Development Kit to 6.2.10 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on zoom.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
