Zerodium Offers to Buy Zero-Day Exploits at Higher Prices Than Ever

Zerodium Offers to Buy Zero-Day Exploits at Higher Prices Than Ever

zero day exploits
Well, there's some good news for hackers and vulnerability hunters, though terrible news for tech manufacturers!

Exploit vendor Zerodium is now willing to offer significantly higher payouts for full, working zero-day exploits that allow stealing of data from WhatsApp, iMessage and other online chat applications.

Zerodium—a startup by the infamous French-based company Vupen that buys and sells zero-day exploits to government agencies around the world—said it would now pay up to $2 million for remote iOS jailbreaks and $1 million for exploits that target secure messaging apps.

Get $2 Million for Remotely Jailbreaking An iPhone


Previously, Zerodium was offering $1.5 million for persistent iOS jailbreaks that can be executed remotely without any user interaction (zero-click)—but now the company has increased that amount to $2 million.

The company is now offering $1.5 million for a remote iOS jailbreak that requires minimal user interaction (i.e., single-click)—the amount has increased from $1 million.

Get $1 Million for Selling WhatsApp and iMessage Zero-Days


Zerodium has also doubled the price for remote code execution (RCE) exploits that target secure-messaging apps like WhatsApp, iMessage, and SMS/MMS apps for all mobile operating systems, making it 1 million from $500,000.

However, the price for zero-day exploits for popular encrypted app Signal that's widely used by many technologists, journalists, and lawyers remained at $500,000, same as before.

Other Zero-Day Buyout Offers

Here's the list of revised prices announced Monday by Zerodium for a variety of other exploits:

  • $1 million for zero-click remote code execution exploits in Windows (previously $500,000)
  • $500,000 for remote code-execution exploits in Chrome including a sandbox escape (previously $250,000 and $200,000 for Windows and Android respectively)
  • $500,000 for Apache or Microsoft IIS RCEs, i.e., remote exploits via HTTP(S) requests (previously $250,000)
  • $500,000 for local privilege escalation attacks against Safari including a sandbox escape (previously $200,000)
  • $250,000 for Outlook RCEs, i.e., remote exploits via malicious emails (previously $150,000)
  • $250,000 for PHP or OpenSSL RCEs (previously $150,000)
  • $250,000 for Microsoft Exchange Server RCEs (previously $150,000)
  • $200,000 for Local privilege escalation to either kernel or root for Android or iOS operating system (previously $100,000)
  • $200,000 for VMWare ESXi Virtual Machine Escape i.e. guest-to-host escape (previously $100,000)
  • $100,000 for Local pin/passcode or Touch ID bypass for Android or iOS (previously $15,000)
  • $80,000 for Windows local privilege escalation or sandbox escape (previously $50,000)


The hike in the price is in line with demand and the tougher security of the latest operating systems and messaging apps, as well as to attract more researchers, hackers and bug hunters to seek complex exploit chains.

The amount paid by Zerodium to researchers for acquiring their original zero-day exploits depends on the popularity and security level of the affected software or system, as well as the quality of the submitted exploit, like is it a full or partial chain, does it affect current versions, reliability, bypassed exploit mitigations, process continuation and so on.

To claim the prize money, your research must be original and previously unreported. Zerodium also said that the company is willing to pay even higher rewards to researchers for their exceptional exploits or research.

Hackers will get the payout within a week of submitting the zero-day exploits along with a valid working proof-of-concept.

Recently, Zerodium disclosed a critical zero-day vulnerability in the NoScript browser plugin that could have been exploited to execute malicious JavaScript on victims' Tor browsers to effectively identify their real IP address even if the maximum security level was used.

Tr0ll 1.0 – Vulnhub CTF Challenge Walkthrough

  Tr0ll 1.0 is an intentionally vulnerable machine, which is more of a   CTF  like type than real world scenario. Nevertheless, this machine has its own difficulties and you can learn some new stuff from it. So, let’s start. Enumeration Phase Let’s first run  netdiscover  to find the IP of our machine. netdiscover -r 192.168.1.1/24 After that, we run our typical  nmap  scan to see the open ports in the machine. nmap -A -sS -Pn -vv [target] Great we see many interesting stuff here. First of all, there is an open  FTP  port and we can connect to it with  anonymous access .  Also there is an open  http  port, we will run a nikto scan for it. The  ssh  port will be valuable later. From the nikto scan we got an interesting  /secret/  folder. When we get inside, we can understand why the machine got this name. Nothing interesting here, as you can see. we got trolled Let’s connect to the ftp server. When we get asked for the username we type ‘ anonymous ‘ and we l

Uber fined $1.1 million by UK and Dutch regulators over 2016 data breach

British and Dutch data protection regulators Tuesday hit the ride-sharing company Uber with a total fine of $1,170,892 (~ 1.1 million) for failing to protect its customers’ personal information during a 2016 cyber attack involving millions of users. Late last year, Uber unveiled that the company had suffered a  massive data breach  in October 2016, exposing names, email addresses and phone numbers of 57 million Uber riders and drivers along with driving license numbers of around 600,000 drivers. Besides this, it was also reported that instead of disclosing the breach at the time, the company  paid $100,000 in ransom  to the two hackers with access to the stolen data in exchange for keeping the incident secret and deleting the information. Today Britain’s Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)  fined  Uber 385,000 pounds ($491,102), while the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Dutch DPA)  levied  a 600,000 euro ($679,790) penalty on Uber for failing to protect the personal informa
