$1,024,750 - 73 unique bugs - a week of amazing research on display. #Pwn2Own Ireland had it all. Success. Failure. Intrigue. You name it. Congratulations to the Master of Pwn winners @SummoningTeam! Their outstanding work earned them $187,500 and 22 point. See you in Tokyo for Pwn2Own Automotive.

Unfortunately, Frisk and Opcode from the Inequation Group ctf team could not get their exploit of the Meta Quest 3S working within the time time allotted. They were able to cause a DoS, but did not achieve code execution. #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 5:12 PM
We have another collision! Bongeun Koo (@kiddo_pwn) and Evangelos Daravigkas (@freddo_1337) of Team DDOS used a single bug to exploit the QNAP TS-453E, but the bug has been previously seen in the contest. Their work still earns them $10,000 and 2 Master of Pwn points. #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 3:34 PM
Confirmed! Team Viettel Cyber Security used a crypto bypass and a heap overflow to exploit the Phillips Hue Bridge. They earn $20,000 and 4 Master of Pwn points, which catapults them in the Top 5. It also puts us over $1,000,000 for the contest! #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 3:28 PM
Boom! One their second attempt, the Viettel Cyber Security successfully got a root shell on the Philips Hue Bridge. They head off to the disclosure room one last time to provide the details. #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 3:06 PM
We have another collision. Evan Grant used a single bug to exploit the QNAP TS-453E, but, unfortunately, it had been used earlier in the contest. He still earns $10,000 and 2 Master of Pwn points. #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 3:04 PM
Boom! Bongeun Koo and Evangelos Daravigkas of Team DDOS completed their exploit of the QNAP TS-453E NAS device. They are off to the disclosure room to provide details. #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 3:00 PM
Another collision: the Thalium team from Thales Group needed 3 bugs to exploit the Phillips Hue Bridge, but only their heap based buffer overflow was unique. The others were seen earlier in the contest. They still earn $13,500 and 2.75 Master of Pwn points. #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 2:19 PM
Confirmed (with style!) - Interrupt Labs combined a path traversal and an untrusted search path bug to exploit the Lexmark CX532adwe. They got a reverse shell and loaded Doom on the LCD. We couldn't play it though :-[ Still awesome to see. #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 2:07 PM
Whew! We had several configuration challenges on our end, but once the setup was complete, Evan Grant easily took over the QNAP TS-453E. He heads off to the disclosure room to provide the details. #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 2:00 PM
Verified! Team @neodyme.io used a single integer overflow to exploit the Canon imageCLASS MF654Cdw. Their unique bugs earns them $10,000 for the 8th round win and 2 Master of Pwn points. #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 1:56 PM
We have another collision. Team Viettel used two bugs to exploit the Lexmark CX532adwe. While their heap based buffer over was unique, the other bug has been seen earlier in the contest. They still earn $7,500 and 1.5 Master of Pwn points. #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 1:52 PM
Confirmed! Sina Kheirkhah of Summoning Team used a hard-coded cred and an injection to take over the QNAP TS-453E. These unique bugs earn him $20,000 and 4 Master of Pwn points. #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 1:44 PM
Confirmed! David Berard of @synacktiv.com used a pair of bugs to exploit the Ubiquiti AI Pro in the Surveillance Systems category. The impressive display (incl. a round of Baby Shark) earns him $30,000 and 3 Master of Pwn Points. #Pwn2Own
October 23, 2025 at 1:31 PM
Sweet! The team from Interrupt Labs used hardly any time at all exploiting the Lexmark CX532adwe and posting their message on the LCD. They head off tot the disclosure room to explain themselves. #Pwn2Own

Due to travel complications and delayed flights, the live stream scheduled for 3PM Irish time has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience.
October 23, 2025 at 1:26 PM
💡 Lights on! The Thalium Team demonstrated their mastery of the Phillips Hue Bridge by changing the color of a connected light. They head off to the disclosure room to illuminate us on how they did it. #Pwn2Own
