[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 987770, member: 32260"] One can use online services to find the vulnerabilities found in popular AVs. For example: [URL unfurl="true"]https://vuldb.com/?vendor.avast[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://vuldb.com/?vendor.bitdefender[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://vuldb.com/?vendor.f-secure[/URL] etc. [B][COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]Only a few AV vulnerabilities were exploited in the wild (in highly targeted attacks).[/COLOR][/B] The vuldb.com website requires free login after a few tries. Another good source is: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog[/URL] The catalog can be searched by the AV vendor. The search for Avast returned 0 matches, so if Avast's vulnerabilities were exploited, these cases were very rare. The search for Microsoft Defender returned 2 vulnerabilities, McAfee - 1, Trend Micro (OfficeScan, Apex One, etc.) - total 8 vulnerabilities. Post edited. [/QUOTE]
