Vulnerability
A feature of a system or its procedures that exposes it to attack or infiltration. Unlike a bug, which prevents the system from running as it was intended to run, a vulnerability exists while a system is running as intended, which means it is generally more complicated to patch a vulnerability than to debug a system. An exploit is a method of leveraging a vulnerability, usually for nefarious purposes.
