"Two of the world's most critical business platforms just dropped emergency security patches that could prevent complete network takeovers and system shutdowns. Zoom and GitLab released urgent updates to fix vulnerabilities affecting millions of organizations worldwide. The breaking discovery? A single Zoom meeting participant could potentially execute remote code on enterprise network infrastructure, while GitLab users face multiple attack vectors that could crash entire development operations."
"A security flaw in Zoom's enterprise networking equipment could transform any meeting participant into a network administrator with malicious intentions. The vulnerability, designated CVE-2026-22844, earned a near-perfect severity score of 9.9 out of 10-essentially marking this as a "complete disaster" scenario for enterprise security. This command injection vulnerability affects Zoom Node Multimedia Routers before version 5.2.1716.0, essentially handing any meeting participant the keys to compromise entire corporate network infrastructures."
Emergency security patches were released for Zoom and GitLab to address vulnerabilities that could enable complete network takeovers and system shutdowns. A Zoom command injection flaw (CVE-2026-22844) in Zoom Node Multimedia Routers before version 5.2.1716.0 can allow any meeting participant to execute commands and compromise enterprise network infrastructure, earning a 9.9 severity score. GitLab vulnerabilities present multiple attack vectors that could crash entire development operations. Both platforms are widely deployed as backbone infrastructure for remote work and software development, creating a large window for exploitation until organizations apply the urgent updates.
