The Story in Brief
A critical security flaw in Zoom could allow attackers to remotely take full control of another user's device during a live meeting, researchers at gadgets360.com report. The vulnerability, a memory-corruption bug in Zoom's annotation feature, requires no action from the victim.
All Zoom Workplace clients on all supported platforms, except those running versions 7.1.5 or 7.0.6, remain vulnerable when using end-to-end encryption. Zoom has released patches to fix the flaw.

This is the latest reminder that video-conferencing features we take for granted, like annotation, can become weapons. The narrative that end-to-end encryption alone guarantees safety is lazy. Zoom pushed an update; the real test is whether thousands of enterprise users apply it today, or wait for a breach.
