Pwn2Own Berlin 2026 concludes after security researchers demonstrate exploits for multiple target categories and collect cash rewards totaling about $1.3 million. Across the contest, participants report finding and exploiting 47 previously undisclosed (zero-day) vulnerabilities. The payouts are reported as $1,298,250 by at least one outlet, with other coverage describing the result as roughly $1.3 million. Demonstrations span a range of products and platforms, including Windows and Linux systems, VMware, and Nvidia-related targets, as well as products associated with AI. Coverage from multiple outlets frames the event as a large-scale effort to identify novel weaknesses under competitive conditions, where researchers earn rewards for successfully exploiting flaws. While the articles summarize the total number of zero-days and the total prize money, they do not consistently provide detailed information in the excerpts about specific vulnerabilities or affected versions. Overall, the reporting agrees on the contest’s final totals and the breadth of the exploited target types.
