Vulnerability considerations

[jrh5249]

Hello

       I have been trying to find information regarding zoom updates, and how they are implemented. The company I work for is not a "Zoom Shop", but multiple users have zoom workplace installed  in order to meet with external vendors. Users do not log into workplace but utilize the "Join Now" feature.  Trying to decide if this launcher can be exploited if no one logs in, or if we should just aim to use meeting functionality in a web browser.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Hi jrh5249 - There are 3 types of updates: web-only, mandatory and optional.

Web-only: These updates are available for download from the web portal for new fixes that are being tested. Mandatory: These updates will start once you click on update. You cannot proceed further until you update. Optional: These updates will start once you click on update. You can proceed should you decide to postpone the update till a later time and update manually. If you choose to postpone your optional update, you will only be prompted to update the next time you login. Please check this support article for your reference.

Also, please see our Zoom Software Quarterly Lifecycle Policy.
