Overview

• Oligo Security identified 23 vulnerabilities in Apple’s AirPlay protocol and SDK, dubbed 'AirBorne,' which allow hackers to take full control of devices via Wi-Fi.
• Apple released patches for iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Vision Pro devices on March 31, addressing the flaws on its own hardware.
• Millions of third-party AirPlay-compatible devices, such as smart TVs and speakers, remain at risk due to slow or absent updates from manufacturers.
• Exploitation of the vulnerabilities requires attackers to be on the same Wi-Fi network, heightening risks in public or poorly secured private networks.
• Experts recommend updating all devices immediately or disabling AirPlay when not in use to eliminate potential attack vectors.
