Hell yeah 😎
Day 2 wraps up with another success! Tanguy Dubroca (@SidewayRE) from Synacktiv (@Synacktiv) used an incorrect pointer scaling leading to privilege escalation on Ubuntu Desktop. They earn $30,000 and 3 Master of Pwn points. #P2OVancouver #Pwn2Own

New exploit: “xor dword [0xf80c2094], 1<<22”
Unlocks CPU microcode, the platform security processor, system management mode, and every internal processor register, all at once, on 100 million AMD CPUs. As far as I can tell can’t be fixed.

🚨 Introducing "ITScape" (CVE-2026-46316)
A Guest-to-Host Escape in KVM/arm64. Guest-side actions alone exploit a use-after-free to run root-privileged code in the host kernel.
Unlike the commonly published QEMU escapes, the bug lives in in-kernel KVM, not QEMU. On a successful exploit, commands run with host kernel privilege rather than the privilege of a user process, threatening the guest-host isolation of multi-tenant arm64 public clouds.
To the best of public knowledge, the first Guest-to-Host Escape Exploit targeting in-kernel KVM/arm64.

🔥 Excited to announce our keynote!
We are thrilled to welcome Bruce Dang (@brucedang) and Thai Duong (@XorNinja) from @calif_io! With all their recent AI buzz, we had to check they aren't just LLMs in a trench coat. 🤖🧥
🎟️ Ticketing opens this Thursday at 2:00 PM CEST ⏰

That's my chain — a full chain w/ logic bugs only! No memory corruption, no AI, and of course no collisions at all 😉
Confirmed! Orange Tsai (@orange_8361) of DEVCORE Research Team (@d3vc0r3) chained 4 logic bugs to achieve a sandbox escape on Microsoft Edge, earning $175,000 and 17.5 Master of Pwn points. Full win! #Pwn2Own #P2OBerlin

Patch your Linux boxes!
Copy.Fail is a trivially exploitable logic bug in Linux, reachable on all major distros released in the last 9 years. A small, portable python script gets root on all platforms.
Found by the teams at @theori_io and @xint_official

I discovered a race-based vulnerability class in the Linux kernel: "Out-of-Cancel"
A structural flaw where cancel_work_sync() is used as a barrier for object lifetime management, causing UAF across multiple networking subsystems.
I wrote an exploit for CVE-2026-23239 (espintcp). It interleaves Delayed ACK timers, NET_RX softirqs, timerfd hardirqs, workqueue scheduling, and CFS scheduler manipulation to hit a ~Xµs race window.

This is the race scenario diagram 😁:

At #Pwn2Own Berlin 2025, a full exploit chain against VMware Workstation was demonstrated via a heap overflow in the PVSCSI controller.
Despite Windows 11 LFH mitigations, advanced heap shaping and side-channel techniques enabled a reliable exploit.

The a highlight from Day 2 of #Pwn2Own Automotive, the team from @synacktiv is at it again. This time, they leverage NFC(!) to exploit the #Autel MaxiCharger with a stack-based buffer overflow. Amazing! We've never seen an NFC exploit like this one before.

Exploit for CVE-2025-27363 on Chrome 113 chrome. This is not a new vulnerability, it was patched in March 2023. This PoC targets only chrome headless mode and i wrote a lot, so i don't know if that it's interesting, the poc is not affected by js sandbox github.com/tin-z/CVE-2025-27…
