Wired reports:
Researchers [found] vulnerabilities in the video conferencing platform Zoom that could have been exploited to take over targets’ devices. Anyone on a call that involved screen sharing, whether participants or the host, would have been vulnerable to a silent attack that could be carried out with no indication and no interaction from the victim.
[It] affected devices running all operating systems that Zoom supports—Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Cybersecurity firm A Security disclosed the vulnerability to Zoom and it has now been patched. However, it says the truly frightening thing was just how easy it was to use AI to find the flaw.
