Researchers found a way to hijack devices through Zoom screen sharing

Researchers at A Security discovered vulnerabilities in Zoom that could allow remote device hijacking through screen sharing functionality, affecting all major operating systems. The flaws were found using publicly available AI models with fewer than 20 prompts, demonstrating how AI is lowering the barrier to discovering exploitable security gaps. Zoom released a security advisory and began rolling out fixes in early June.

Why it matters: Zoom users on calls with screen sharing enabled are at risk of silent compromise; practitioners should verify patch deployment across their organizations and consider restricting screen sharing privileges given the ease with which such vulnerabilities can now be discovered.
