How can malware exploit vulnerabilities in software?

### REPLY:
One common method is to exploit known vulnerabilities in outdated software versions. Attackers can use tools like exploit kits that automatically scan for and exploit these vulnerabilities. Another technique is to use zero-day exploits, which target previously unknown vulnerabilities that have not been patched yet. By exploiting these vulnerabilities, the malware can bypass security measures and gain control over the targeted system.
