Zoom annotation flaw could enable device takeover with AI prompt crafting

Intelligence Summary

Researchers say they identified a serious security weakness in Zoom’s annotation feature. The issue could allow a malicious participant to execute code on other meeting attendees’ devices. That could enable data theft and the ability to activate cameras or microphones during meetings. The team claims they were able to develop the exploit using fewer than 20 prompts on public AI models. Zoom has since patched the vulnerability, so users should update immediately.

Recommended Action

Prioritize immediate review, validate exposure, and patch or mitigate affected systems.
