- zero-day vulnerability
- This is a security flaw that is unknown to the software vendor, meaning there are no patches or defenses available yet.
- A secret computer weakness that hackers can use before anyone knows about it.
- sandbox
- In computing, a sandbox is a security mechanism for separating running programs, usually to execute untested code or untrusted programs without risking harm to the host machine or operating system.
- A safe, separate space where a computer program runs so it cannot mess up the rest of the computer.
