DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing meeting URL. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted URL, which can direct the user to connect to an arbitrary network address, leading to additional attacks including the potential for remote code execution through launching executables from arbitrary paths.
