Pwn2Own Ireland, day three: Oracle's ai database falls twice more

In the contest's first ai infrastructure category, Oracle's ai database was the target broken most often.

On the third day of Pwn2Own Ireland, Oracle Autonomous AI Database was broken twice more.

  • OtterSec used a four-bug chain, including one new bug, for $6,250.
  • Platform Security (Connor Laidlaw and Matthew Keeley) used a five-bug chain for $6,000.
  • The Chroma vector database faced one more attempt.

Elsewhere, Djini.ai's team hacked the Pixel 10 for $112,500, and Team MAMMOTH closed the contest with a six-bug chain against Home Assistant Green. Roughly $1.33 million had been awarded by this point.

Why it matters

The ai infrastructure category is new this year, and the database built to hold ai workloads was the target that fell most often.
