Both of the flaws were found within Zoom’s MacOS application. One allows for the take over of a users microphone and camera, the other can grant the exploiter root access on the targets machine.

In the midst of the corona virus pandemic there has been a surge in the video group conferencing service, Zoom. With the increased business of Zoom, it has exposed vulnerabilities in Zoom systems, as well as, become a target for lawmakers and hackers. The increasing amount of people in quarantine has lead to an increased success for Zoom from a business and financial perspective. The increased use of Zoom has created a new phenomenon where hackers and other individuals have gained access and disrupt a live meeting. The attacks have raised so much concern that the FBI put out an alert warning people about the disruptions on Zoom calls. Overall, Zoom is not yet fully aware of the attacks and continues to have security problems that need to be fixed.
