DescriptionCVE.org

An authentication bypass issue exists in communications between affected versions of the Zscaler Client Connector and the Zscaler Client Connector Portal.

AnalysisAI

Authentication bypass in Zscaler Client Connector allows remote unauthenticated attackers to subvert the trust between the endpoint agent and the Zscaler Client Connector Portal, per the CVSS vector (AV:N/PR:N) yielding high confidentiality and integrity impact. The flaw (CWE-304) stems from a missing or incorrect step in the authentication logic governing agent-to-portal communications, affecting Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS builds below the fixed versions. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The vulnerable interaction is the authenticated communication channel between the Zscaler Client Connector agent and the Zscaler Client Connector Portal; exploitation requires network reach to that channel and a connector running a version below the per-platform fix level (e.g., Windows < 4.6.0.457/4.7.0.317/4.8.0.232/4.9.0.372, macOS < 4.5.2.312/4.7.0.292/4.8.0.191, Linux < 3.7.2.64/4.2.1.64, iOS < 4.5.1, Android < 4.2, ChromeOS < 4.2). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals point to a serious, high-priority issue: CVSS 9.1 with AV:N, AC:L, PR:N, and UI:N describes network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation, and CWE-304 authentication bypasses are frequently reliable once understood. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Upgrade Zscaler Client Connector to a fixed release for each platform: Windows 4.6.0.457 / 4.7.0.317 / 4.8.0.232 / 4.9.0.372, Linux 3.7.2.64 / 4.2.1.64, macOS 4.5.2.312 / 4.7.0.292 / 4.8.0.191, iOS 4.5.1, ChromeOS 4.2, and Android 4.2 (Patch available per vendor advisory - confirm the exact target build for your deployment branch against https://help.zscaler.com/zscaler-client-connector/client-connector-app-release-summary-2026). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: execute complete inventory of Zscaler Client Connector deployments across all platforms, document all installed versions, and activate detailed logging of agent-to-portal communications. …
