Google Half Of Zero Day Exploits Linked To Poor Software Fixes

That’s the verdict of researchers at Google Project Zero (GPZ), which has so far counted 18 zero-day bugs in 2022 affecting Microsoft Windows, Apple iOS and WebKit, Google’s Chromium and Pixel, and Atlassian’s Confluence server. GPZ only collects data about zero-day (0-day) flaws – or bugs exploited by attackers before a patch is available – in major software products, so the figure doesn’t encompass all software 0-days.
