A vulnerability in Zoom screen sharing allowed participants on the same call to gain control of other users’ devices. Researchers report that the issue could be triggered through crafted input, and that a public AI tool was able to find a working path to the flaw in fewer than 20 attempts. The problem has been fixed, according to the reports.
The accounts focus on the severity of the bug: instead of merely viewing a screen, the affected screen-sharing interaction could be used to fully take over a targeted device during an active call. Wired emphasizes how quickly the flaw was discovered with AI-generated prompts and notes that the issue is now addressed. Engadget similarly describes the bug’s outcome—complete takeover—without adding further technical detail.
