Unpatched Vulnerability: Working Exploit

"Working in a white hat's lab" is not as urgent as "being abused right now in 
the wild".

. . . or maybe "zero day exploit".

Proposed:

1. A 0-day EXPLOIT is an Unpatched Vulnerability that we realize is being or 
has been abused.

2. A 0-day VULNERABILITY: no such thing. All vulnerabilities are either 
Unpatched or Patched. They start out in Unpatched status the moment some 
programmer creates them. They remain Unpatched until they are Patched.


That was pretty much my point -- so I'm on board.
