Zoom Patches “Zoomsday” Zero-Click Flaw Enabling Remote Code Execution

Zoom patched CVE-2026-53413, a zero-click annotation flaw dubbed "Zoomsday" allowing remote code execution on meeting participants' devices across all platforms.

Zoom patched four vulnerabilities, including CVE-2026-53413, a stack buffer overflow in CAnnoFormatBlock::Deserialize in the annotation protocol that allows zero-click remote code execution on another participant's device. A Security also found CVE-2026-53414, a buffer overread enabling denial-of-service crashes, and CVE-2026-53415, a use-after-free Zoom had already discovered internally.

MapLibre Vulnerability Exposes 2.7M Users to Zero-Click Attacks

Critical XSS CVE-2026-85061 in MapLibre GL JS enables zero-click attacks on an estimated 2.7 million users; fixed in maplibre-gl 6.4.1.

A flaw in MapLibre GL JS's DOM.sanitize() iterates a live NamedNodeMap while removing attributes, skipping malicious attributes placed adjacent to removed ones, letting event handlers like onload and ontoggle survive and execute via innerHTML in the attribution control. Tracked as CVE-2026-85061 and GHSA-jrc7-96c5-q579, the flaw affects maplibre-gl versions 6.4.0 and earlier, is rated critical under CVSS v3.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N), and requires no user interaction, privileges, or authentication. Exploitation could enable session theft, unauthorized actions, phishing redirects, or map content manipulation; the patch in 6.4.1 snapshots attributes with Array.from before iterating.

WeChat Zero-Click Worm Took Over Accounts on iPhone and Android via Incoming Calls

Researchers demonstrated a zero-click WeChat worm that hijacked accounts via incoming calls; Tencent blocked the exploit server-side after July disclosure, no real attacks reported.

Security firm Calif built a worm that seized WeChat accounts via incoming calls without any target interaction, demonstrating it spreading across three test phones (Android to iPhone to Android). Once exploited, the attacker gains full control of the WeChat account, including messages, calls, payments, and mini programs, though not the phone itself. Tencent mitigated the flaw server-side, confirmed blocked on 28 August, shipping WeChat 8.0.77 for Android and 8.0.76 for iOS on 21 August. No CVE has been assigned, Tencent published no advisory, and no attacks in the wild have been reported; WeChat/Weixin counts 1.439 billion monthly active users.

“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.
