‘Zoomsday’ hack uncovered using fewer than 20 AI prompts
↗
Zoom patched a critical vulnerability in its annotation feature that allowed attackers to hijack devices during meetings, a flaw discovered by researchers using fewer than 20 prompts on publicly available AI models.
The discovery demonstrates that AI agents can drastically reduce the time and expertise required to find and exploit complex vulnerabilities, turning what was once considered nation-state level work into a single-day effort. Engineers must recognize that publicly accessible AI tools are lowering the barrier to entry for sophisticated attacks across all major operating systems.
