Vulnerability Details

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Microsoft Teams Desktop. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the handling of the amsVideo parameter provided to the Teams endpoint. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can lead to the injection of an arbitrary script.
