Abstract

Drawing on our direct participation in Microsoft's ZeroDay Quest — where V-Spot researchers ranked 6th globally — this report examines the shifting dynamics of zero-day vulnerability discovery, responsible disclosure frameworks, and the emerging role of AI-augmented security research. We analyse over 200 vulnerability disclosures from the past eighteen months and present a taxonomy of exploitation techniques targeting modern enterprise software.
