A new vulnerability in Apple’s AirPlay has been uncovered by Oligo Security Research that could potentially allow bad actors to compromise devices such as your Mac laptop, AirPlay speakers and receivers, or even the CarPlay system in your automobile.
Because of this vulnerability, users could experience a denial of service, loss of sensitive information, or possibly distractions while driving in the form of unwanted sounds or images being displayed on your automobile console.
To help protect yourself against this vulnerability:
- Update any device that supports AirPlay to the latest version of the software available.
- Verify on your AirPlay device that the setting “Allow AirPlay for” is set to just “Current User.”
- Disable the AirPlay receiver on any device where it is not needed.
