CVE-2026-53416 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability affecting Zoom Workplace VDI Client for Windows and Zoom Workplace VDI Plugins. The flaw is caused by improper validation of file paths, allowing an authenticated user with local access to manipulate path input and access files outside the intended directory structure. This can result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information stored on the local system or otherwise reachable through the vulnerable file-handling logic.
