A security flaw in Zoom's annotation system has allowed hackers to take over victims' computers and phones without any action required from the user. The vulnerability, discovered by cybersecurity firm A Security, resides in the memory-corruption flaws of the annotation engine. Attackers could send specially crafted data that would automatically be processed by the Zoom client, leading to the execution of malicious code.
This could result in remote code execution, denial of service, or even unauthorized authentication. The issue affected all supported Zoom platforms, including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Zoom's AI researchers developed a zero-click remote code execution exploit within a day of discovering the problem, highlighting the severity of the flaw.
Zoom released updates to fix the vulnerability, which were publicly disclosed on August 11. Users are advised to install the latest updates to protect themselves from potential threats.
