The government revealed that it disclosed 39 zero-day software vulnerabilities in 2023 in an attempt to get them patched or mitigated. A lack of transparency has made it difficult to assess the government’s stockpile of zero-day vulnerabilities and whether the decision-making process favors disclosure over exploitation. Concerns have been raised about potential increases in government hacking operations under the Trump administration and the impact this may have on disclosure practices. The process for adjudicating zero-day vulnerabilities remains complex and secretive, leaving many questions unanswered about how these vulnerabilities are managed and disclosed.
