AirPlay Zero-Click RCE Vulnerability Enables Remote Device Takeover via Wi-Fi

A critical vulnerability in Apple’s AirPlay protocol, dubbed AirBorne, has exposed over 2.35 billion active Apple devices and tens of millions of third-party gadgets to remote code execution (RCE) attacks requiring no user interaction. Researchers at Oligo Security discovered that the flaw allows attackers on the same Wi-Fi network to hijack devices ranging from Macs and iPhones to CarPlay-enabled vehicles and smart speakers. The Airborne vulnerabilities stem from flaws in Apple’s AirPlay protocol and its Software Development Kit (SDK), which third-party manufacturers use to integrate AirPlay compatibility. As Apple’s ecosystem expands- 2.35 billion active devices as of January 2025- and third-party integrations proliferate, coordinated disclosure and rapid patching are critical. Macs and iOS devices with AirPlay receiver enabled (default: “Current User”) are vulnerable to zero-click attacks if paired with CVE-2025-24206.
