I don't know where you get that definition but zero day means and used as a vulnerability that's not publicly known / previously unknown.
So if you found a vulnerability that's not publicly known / new, that means you got a zero day. It also implies that it's not patched.
- Mindless2112 13y ago"A zero-day (or zero-hour or day zero) attack or threat is an attack that exploits a previously unknown vulnerability in a computer application, meaning that the attack occurs on "day zero" of awareness of the vulnerability." [1] If the party responsible for fixing a vulnerability knows of it before it is exploited, then they had more than "zero days" to fix it.
