RESEARCHERS from the digital defense firm A Security disclosed vulnerabilities in Zoom's screen sharing feature that could allow attackers to hijack devices during calls. These vulnerabilities, discovered using AI models, were found in the protocol for real-time annotation, potentially affecting all major operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android). Zoom has issued security patches to address these flaws.
The researchers emphasized the growing accessibility of hacking tools, which lowers the barrier to exploit such vulnerabilities. They expressed concern about the implications of such attacks, as participants in Zoom meetings typically trust the platform, making it a prime target for exploitation.
