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. |
