Recent research by Oligo, a cybersecurity firm, has uncovered 23 critical vulnerabilities in Appleâs AirPlay feature, posing security risks to millions of compatible devices. These flaws, known as "AirBorne," allow potential hackers to take control of devices via the same Wi-Fi network, showcasing a range of risks including Remote Code Execution (RCE) attacks. Although Apple has released patches for its own devices, many third-party gadgets remain at risk due to the extensive use of the AirPlay protocol across various platforms. This situation underscores the difficulty of ensuring security across multiple device manufacturers.
