CVE-2026-53415 is a high-severity memory-safety vulnerability in the annotator function of Zoom Clients. The issue is described by Zoom as a use-after-free condition that may allow a meeting participant to achieve remote code execution on another participant via network access. Technical reporting further associates the flaw with Zoom’s annotation engine and handling of an auto-shape metadata object, where attacker-controlled data can influence internal linked-list processing after unsafe memory handling, resulting in memory corruption and a potential write-what-where primitive. The vulnerability affects the annotation feature used during meetings and is reachable through crafted annotation traffic exchanged between participants.
