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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Zoom Injection Vulnerability Issue: What We Know<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">This particular security issue is linked to the Zoom multimedia router that is heavily deployed within internal networks of businesses who use the platform for their meetings and other tasks. \u201cA vulnerability exists in Zoom Node Multimedia Router (MMR) due to an OS command injection issue,&#8221; the alert notifies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The agency further suggests that the Zoom security issues could make it high risk for businesses using Zoom applications across platforms. \u201cSuccessful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to affect the integrity of the app, gain elevated privileges or cause denial of service conditions on the targeted system.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">These are the Zoom module versions that are facing the risk of the vulnerability:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Zoom Node Meetings Hybrid (ZMH) MMR module versions prior to 5.2.1716.0<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Zoom Node Meeting Connector (MC) MMR module versions prior to 5.2.1716.0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Zoom has issued its own security bulletin with more details and asks all the affected Zoom customers to update to the latest MMR version by their company\u2019s IT administrators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The Zoom workplace app is used by businesses and professionals while the Android and iOS apps are popular among most people. If the Zoom version issued by your company system is running on the versions prior to the ones written here, you need to update the Zoom app right away. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-18814a1d8226d353 artnws newsletter\">\n<p>Handpicked stories, in your inbox<\/p>\n<p>A newsletter with the best of our journalism<\/p>\n<p><input type=\"text\" placeholder=\"Enter Your Email\" class=\"jsx-18814a1d8226d353 artnwinpt\" value=\"\"\/><button class=\"jsx-18814a1d8226d353 subscrbe newsletter\">submit<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-279370f99b75303e jsx-323866482 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Delhi, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-279370f99b75303e jsx-323866482 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>February 03, 2026, 09:14 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-279370f99b75303e jsx-323866482 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/\">tech<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Zoom Users Issued &#8216;Command Injection Vulnerability&#8217; Alert By Indian Govt: Should You Be Worried?<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
