Zoom Patches Critical Vulnerability Discovered with AI Prompts.

Zoom has recently addressed a significant security vulnerability that could have allowed malicious actors to take control of participants' devices during video meetings. This critical flaw was identified by A Security researchers, who remarkably used fewer than 20 prompts with publicly accessible AI models to uncover the exploit. The vulnerability was linked to Zoom's annotation feature, which permits users to draw on shared screens. An attacker could exploit this by joining or hosting a meeting and executing malicious code on victims' devices. This could lead to data theft, activation of cameras or microphones, or malware installation, all without requiring any user interaction. The rapid discovery using AI highlights the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats and the tools used to find them.
