Contestants hacked Microsoft’s Windows 10 OS twice during the second day of the Pwn2Own 2021 competition, together with the Google Chrome web browser and the Zoom video communication platform. The first to demo a successful Windows 10 exploit on Wednesday and earn $40,000 was Palo Alto Networks’ Tao Yan who used a Race Condition bug to escalate to SYSTEM privileges from a normal user on a fully patched Windows 10 machine. On Wednesday, Dataflow Security’s Bruno Keith and Niklas Baumstark also earned $100,000 after exploiting the renderer in the Chrome and Microsoft Edge web browsers using a Type Mismatch bug.
