"Researchers Find 63 Zero-Day Bugs at Latest Pwn2Own"

Participants at the latest Pwn2Own competition discovered many zero-day vulnerabilities in a range of products.  The contest is run by Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI).  During the competition, which lasted three days, contestants were paid $934,750 for the vulnerabilities they discovered.  26 contestants and teams attempted to exploit 66 target products. The contestants found a total of 63 unique zero-days.  The Master of Pwn title came down to the wire, but the team from DEVCORE claimed their second title with winnings of $142,500 and 18.5 points. Team Viettel and the NCC group were close behind with 16.5 and 15.5 points, respectively.  Some of the devices targeted by the contestants included printers, routers, smart speakers, NAS devices, and smartphones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S22.  The vendors of hacked products will now have 120 days to patch the 63 zero-days found in their offerings before they are publicly disclosed by the ZDI.
