Pwn2Own Miami 2022 has ended with competitors earning $400,000 for 26 zero-day exploits targeting ICS and SCADA products demoed during the contest between April 19 and April 21.
"Thanks again to all of the competitors who participated. We couldn't have a contest without them," Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative said today.
After the security vulnerabilities exploited during Pwn2Own are reported, vendors are given 120 days to release patches until ZDI publicly discloses them.
During day one, they earned $20,000 after executing code on the Inductive Automation Ignition SCADA control server solution using a missing authentication weakness.
Last but not least, on day two of Pwn2Own Miami 2022, the team bypassed the trusted application check on the OPC Foundation OPC UA.NET Standard and added $40,000 to their awards stash.
During the first edition of the ICS-themed Pwn2Own Miami, held back in January 2020, ZDI awarded $280,000 for 24 unique zero-day vulnerabilities in ICS and SCADA products.
