LG Urges Immediate Update for Smart TVs Due to Security Flaws

Security vulnerabilities in LG smart TVs could allow hackers to take control, affecting 91,000 devices globally.

Older LG smart TVs with certain versions of webOS are susceptible to hacking, potentially leading to data theft.
Bitdefender identified four major vulnerabilities that could grant hackers root access and control over the TVs.
Affected models include LG43UM7000PLA, OLED55CXPUA, OLED48C1PUB, and OLED55A23LA across various webOS versions.
LG has issued a software patch to address these security issues and advises users to update their devices immediately.
The vulnerabilities were primarily identified through the LG ThinQ app, which can control TVs when connected to the same network.
