MODERATORS
Can someone tell me what 0-day is?
It's a computer vulnerability or exploit which has not been discovered before (or at least the software developer wasn't aware of it).
0-day comes from the number of days the software developers have been informed of the vulnerability. Normally security researchers will tell a company about an exploit and give them some time to fix it before telling the public.
