“Zero-click” WeChat worm could hijack accounts and spread via a single call
Researchers discovered a critical memory corruption flaw in WeChat's VoIP stack enabling a zero-click worm, WeWorm, that hijacks accounts via calls; Tencent patched it.
Calif researchers weaponized a memory corruption issue in WeChat's VoIP stack into "WeWorm", a worm that spreads through WeChat calls without user interaction, hijacks each victim's account, and propagates via saved contacts across iOS and Android, potentially reaching millions of devices within hours. Exploitation takes seconds and grants full account control, and chaining with other reported Android/iOS bugs could lead to full device control. Tencent issued updated WeChat versions for iOS and Android and applied server-side mitigations; technical details remain withheld. WeChat has over a billion users, overwhelmingly in China.
Zoom Annotation Flaws Could Let a Meeting Participant Hijack Another Attendee's Client
A Security researchers disclosed three Zoom annotation flaws enabling zero-click client hijacking; Zoom shipped fixes in June and July with no exploitation reported.
Researchers at A Security found three flaws in Zoom's annotation feature: CVE-2026-53413 (CVSS 8.3, buffer over-write), CVE-2026-53414 (CVSS 6.5, buffer over-read), and CVE-2026-53415 (CVSS 8.3, use-after-free). A crafted drawing object sent over the wrong message channel can overwrite adjacent memory and hijack another attendee's client with no user interaction. Fixes shipped in Zoom Workplace 7.1.5/7.0.6, VDI Client 7.0.11/6.6.16, and Zoom Rooms/Meeting SDK 7.1.0+ during June and July. No exploitation has been reported and the flaws are absent from CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
