## Affected

- j\_3rk Video Conferencing with Zoom: through 4.2.1

## Description

The Video Conferencing with Zoom plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Sensitive Information Exposure due to hardcoded encryption key on the 'vczapi_encrypt_decrypt' function in versions up to, and including, 4.2.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to decrypt and view the meeting id and password.
