Definition
The kit fingerprints the browser, the operating system, and installed plugins, then chooses an exploit bundled for a flaw that fingerprint still has. The operator points the kit at a site they control, or at a site they have already compromised, and selects the payload. The kit handles identification, exploit selection, and delivery. Buyers configure the target and the payload. The kit supplies the exploits.
Relevance
A compromised studio site or a community page players already trust can run a kit aimed at an old browser or a vulnerable plugin. The flaw usually already has a CVE and a patch. Updating the browser takes that device off the kit's list.
Example
A forum thread your players use loads a kit. The kit sees an outdated browser, serves an exploit for a published flaw in that version, and the payload runs as the thread renders.
