Closed Zero-Day Market Offers Targeted Exploits for WhatsApp, Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux

By: Zexprwire

New York, US, 5th July 2025, ZEX PR WIREA growing number of cybersecurity professionals are tracking a quiet but structured emergence of closed-access platforms offering highly targeted 0day vulnerabilities. One such site, 0dayvulnerabilities.com, claims to maintain a private repository of exploits focused on high-value systems, including mobile communication apps, operating systems, and enterprise-grade platforms.

Recent threat intelligence chatter suggests that custom payloads are now being privately offered for sale in categories previously considered difficult to obtain — including mobile messaging platforms and Unix-based systems. While the market for Android and Windows exploits has been active for years, the inclusion of more specialized offerings marks a shift toward tailored offensive capabilities.

Sources indicate that interest is especially high in tools to buy WhatsApp vulnerabilities, often targeting encrypted communication flows or remote execution vectors through media parsing. Several underground groups have reportedly leveraged such payloads to conduct targeted surveillance or obtain persistent access to mobile devices without alerting users or triggering detection tools.

Similarly, the ability to buy Android vulnerabilities in private settings — especially those that enable privilege escalation or bypass of Secure Boot — is drawing attention from actors involved in both offensive research and counterintelligence operations. Analysts suggest that APT-grade Android exploits are now being sold with infrastructure-ready components, reducing setup time for attack deployment.

Beyond mobile, the platform also appears to support offerings related to macOS, long viewed as a less common but increasingly attractive target. The option to buy MacOS vulnerabilities — especially those with kernel-level access or sandbox escape — presents new risks for organizations with mixed-device environments.

Meanwhile, security experts tracking mobile threat vectors have also observed growing demand for anyone attempting to buy iOS zero day vulnerability. Due to Apple’s closed ecosystem and rapid patch cycles, private iOS exploits are among the most expensive and rarest in circulation. The inclusion of these on the platform could signal access to exploits previously seen only in government-level operations.

Finally, Linux systems — often considered hardened and community-reviewed — are no longer immune to targeted intrusion. The ability to buy Linux vulnerabilities, particularly in container environments or remote daemon access, has started to emerge as a concern for enterprise defenders and DevSecOps teams. These exploits, when used effectively, can compromise critical infrastructure or cloud workloads without relying on phishing or user interaction.

At the time of writing, the claims made by 0dayvulnerabilities.com remain unverified, but the platform’s structure, language, and observed presence in deep-web threat forums suggest a serious operational model rather than marketplace noise.
