Cybersecurity firm Oligo has revealed vulnerabilities in Apple's AirPlay protocol that they refer to as 'AirBorne.' These issues could allow attackers on the same network as an AirPlay device to spread malware, access sensitive information, and execute remote attacks. Apple has released patches for these bugs, but third-party AirPlay devices remain at risk. In addition, the vulnerabilities can also affect CarPlay when connected to insecure Wi-Fi hotspots, enabling remote code execution and tracking capabilities. Awareness of these vulnerabilities is crucial for users with AirPlay-enabled devices.
Oligo's researchers found vulnerabilities in Apple's AirPlay protocol that could enable malware spread across local networks, posing significant cybersecurity risks.
Two of the bugs identified are 'wormable,' allowing attackers to take over an infected device's access and infect others on the network.
