Researchers Build WeChat Zero-Click Worm Hijacking Phones via Calls

Researchers demonstrated a zero-click worm that exploits WeChat to hijack Android and iOS devices through incoming calls, leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) models in its construction. The attack requires no user interaction and affects both major mobile platforms.

Why it matters: Mobile users and enterprises supporting WeChat deployments face a zero-click attack surface; teams should assess whether WeChat filtering, device hardening, or call restrictions are feasible controls.
