Summary
Zoom fixed a critical screen-sharing vulnerability that could let an attacker on a call remotely execute code on a participant’s device with no user interaction or visible warning.
The flaw affected all Zoom-supported platforms—Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android—including iPhones and Macs, turning routine meeting screen sharing into a takeover path.
A Security said it found the bug in early June using publicly available AI models, needing fewer than 20 prompts to uncover the weakness and build a working attack.
The disclosure underscores how AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery, shrinking work that once took a five-person team roughly six months into a much faster process.
