If you regularly use AirPlay to stream content from your iPhone to your TV or Mac, you should be careful now. Researchers at the security firm Oligo have discovered vulnerabilities in AirPlay that affect not only Apple devices but also many third-party products. The holes enable targeted attacks over the network \u2013 with potentially serious consequences. Even though Apple has responded, the problem is far from resolved.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vulnerabilities, collectively known as "Airborne," affect AirPlay on iOS, macOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS devices. Apple has released security updates in recent months to close the gaps. However, third-party devices that support AirPlay remain vulnerable in many cases. This makes the issue particularly sensitive\u2014especially in public Wi-Fi networks, where attackers can easily gain access to the same network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is \u201cAirborne\u201d and how does the attack work?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The AirPlay vulnerabilities allow attackers to gain access to AirPlay-enabled devices via a shared Wi-Fi network. The attacker only needs to be on the same network as the target device\u2014for example, in hotels, airports, cafes, or office buildings. A compromised device can then be used to spread malware\u2014including to other devices on the network. The vulnerabilities can be exploited individually or in combination. According to Oligo, the following types of attacks are possible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
