Aren't all vulnerabilities zerodays and therefore unpatched at some point?
- slater 3y agoknown vs. unknown, and all that
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y agoIt’s a zero-day only at the point when it’s been exploited without having been reported. “Zero” is referring to the number of days since disclosure that an exploit ocurred. If it’s patched before it’s exploited, it wouldn’t be considered a “zero-day exploit”.
- pksebben 3y agoor if it's been reported but not acted on, and gets exploited before that happens.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y agoI believe if, say, 10 days had passed since the report, it would be called a “10-day” exploit. But it’s also security research jargon that I’m not familiar with in a practical sense so I may be wrong.
- stevenwliao 3y agoI guess to be more specific, zero-days that they don't fix even after they're exploited.
