Oligo Security uncovered 23 significant vulnerabilities in Apple AirPlay, named 'AirBorne,' enabling hackers to infiltrate any device connected to the same Wi-Fi network. These vulnerabilities can lead to the deployment of malware, unauthorized access to personal information, and even device crashes. While Apple has released updates to address these flaws, many third-party AirPlay-compatible devices may remain at risk if their manufacturers fail to implement timely security patches. The potential impact is vast, given the large number of AirPlay-enabled devices currently in use.
Cybersecurity researchers at Oligo Security revealed 23 vulnerabilities in Apple AirPlay, enabling hackers to infiltrate devices on shared Wi-Fi networks and deploy malware.
The discovered flaws, named 'AirBorne,' allow hackers to take over devices, execute malicious code, steal personal data, crash devices, and eavesdrop on conversations.
Oligo's Elbaz emphasized that many third-party AirPlay devices could remain compromised for years or indefinitely due to slow manufacturer response times to security updates.
Apple addressed the vulnerabilities with software updates for its devices, but risks persist for vulnerable third-party devices that may not receive timely patches.
