The Indian government has raised a new security warning for Zoom users on the enterprise version of their company’s network. The latest alert from the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team or CERT-In on February 2, 2026 talks about a serious command injection issue that can make it easy for hackers to attack their system bypassing the Zoom security layers and able to steal data and other information from the targeted users.

Zoom was popular during the pandemic because of people working remotely and assisting them with video meetings from anywhere. Even today, people rely on the platform for work which is why the new risks warrant your attention.
