Massively popular video conferencing platform Zoom has worked with cybersecurity company Check Point to resolve a glaring security issue centered on vanity URLs.
Check Point researchers Adi Ikan, Liri Porat, and Ori Hamama said in a study that they worked with Zoom to identify two ways cybercriminals could exploit the widely used feature.
The vanity URL feature is only available for the business version of Zoom.
"Some organizations have their own Zoom web interface for conferences. A hacker could target such an interface and attempt to redirect a user to enter a meeting ID into the malicious Vanity URL rather than the actual or genuine Zoom web interface. As with the direct links attacks, without careful cybersecurity training, a victim of such attacks may not have been able to recognize the malicious URL and have fallen prey to the attack."
Check Point worked with Zoom earlier this year on another security issue, according to a blog post from the company.
