NSO Group used another WhatsApp zero-day after being sued, court docs say

Israeli surveillance firm NSO Group reportedly used multiple zero-day exploits, including an unknown one named "Erised," that leveraged WhatsApp vulnerabilities to deploy Pegasus spyware in zero-click attacks, even after getting sued.

Pegasus is NSO Group's spyware platform (marketed as surveillance software for governments worldwide), with multiple software components that provide customers with extensive surveillance capabilities over victims' compromised devices. For instance, NSO customers could monitor the victims' activity and extract information using the Pegasus agent installed on the victims' mobile phones.
