Patches shipped in June and July 2026 (Zoom Workplace before 7.1.5/7.0.6, VDI Client before 7.0.11/6.6.16, Rooms/SDK before 7.1.0/7.1.5), with no exploitation reported. Researcher 'A Security' claims they went from finding the flaw to a working exploit in under a day using fewer than 20 prompts on unnamed publicly available AI models, exploiting a 128-byte buffer overflow in annotation data parsing and a missing origin check that let one malformed drawing reach the entire room. Why: If your team runs Zoom Workplace, VDI Client, Rooms, or embeds the Meeting SDK, verify you are past the patched versions—older clients remain exploitable by anyone in a meeting with zero victim interaction. The AI-assisted exploit claim (under 20 prompts, under a day) is unverifiable since no model is named, but it signals that offensive security tooling is cheapening fast; builders shipping client software with binary protocol parsing should treat untrusted-length-field bugs as findable by adversaries with minimal effort. security zoom buffer-overflow ai-assisted-exploitation client-software

Zoom Annotation Flaws Could Let a Meeting Participant Hijack Another Attendee's Client

Three Zoom annotation-tool flaws allowed any meeting participant to hijack another attendee's client with no victim interaction—no click, download, or prompt required.
