Summary: Check for updates

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/08/zoom-patches-mac-auto-updater-vulnerability-that-granted-root-access/

This paragraph in the article is the gist and contains a couple links:

Some of Wardle's findings had been patched in a prior update, but key
root access was still available as of Wardle's talk on Saturday. Zoom
issued a security bulletin the same day, and a patch for version Zoom
5.11.5 (9788) followed soon after. You can download the update
directly from Zoom or click on your menu bar options to "Check for
updates." We wouldn't suggest waiting for an automatic update, for
multiple reasons.

I haven't looked into it, but I think Arstechnica is reliable. Do you
guys know more?

Arstechnica has been around for a LONG time. I consider them reliable.

Cheers,
Mac
