Also known as: 0-day exploit, zero day attack

Last updated August 9, 2026

Definition

A zero-day exploit is an attack that uses a vulnerability before the vendor has issued a fix — defenders have “zero days” of warning.

Real-World Example

Nation-state spyware delivered through a never-before-seen browser bug is typically a zero-day exploit chain.
