Apple has issued a critical security advisory warning users of potential vulnerabilities in its AirPlay protocol and software development kit (SDK). Dubbed AirBorne, this collection of 23 vulnerabilities threatens millions of AirPlay-enabled devices including Apple TVs, smart TVs, speakers, Macs, and even select hotel TVs.
Exploiting these flaws could allow hackers to run malware on devices and access sensitive personal data. To mitigate risks, Apple recommends updating all AirPlay-connected devices promptly and disabling AirPlay when not in use. Third-party devices are also at risk if manufacturers have not issued updates.
