Shitting on people pointing out concerns with/exploits in zoom appears to be this week's low latency path to more upvotes no matter how serious the claim is.
Every zoom post I've read here has at least one highly-upvoted comment about "hey everyone lay off zoom". Why? Why should we give a company that millions are now using for the first time a break? Why should we ignore issues with software that tons of people are now using and potentially opening themselves up to danger?
I use zoom, I used to before the pandemic and I've used it with friends since multiple times. I'm not some anti-zoom, burn it all down type. That said I think issues with it warrant a discussion and there is a reason these things are upvoted: because millions of people are now using it and are unaware of the risk they are taking.

However, telling people "if you care about your security and privacy, perhaps stop using Zoom” is a wee bit hyperbolic. When I score these using CVSS 3 I come up with a Medium vulnerability. Here's the vector string for the first vuln that I scored 6.5- CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N
