Explanation:

A vulnerability that is exploited before the vendor has issued a patch or even before the vulnerability is known to the vendor is referred to as a 'zero-day' vulnerability. The term 'zero-day' refers to the number of days the software vendor has had to address and patch the vulnerability since it was made public---zero, in this case.

Reference:

Symantec Security Response, 'Zero Day Initiative'.
