This Zoom bug was a 'zero-day' vulnerability, meaning the software vendor had zero days' notice before it was discovered by someone outside their team. These flaws are particularly dangerous because they can be exploited before a fix is available, leaving users exposed. Thankfully, A Security responsibly reported it to Zoom, allowing a patch to be developed.
