The new augmented reality glasses from Apple were launched this week And the first security breach has already been discovered, or at least one that is known, that allows attackers to take control of the device and cause it to crash.
The loophole, which was discovered by me Joseph Ravichandrana PhD student at MIT, exploits a weakness in the operating system visionOS, and allows attackers to inject malicious code into the device. As a result, the device may crash unexpectedly, lose data and even become unusable.
“Exploiting the world’s first kernel exploit for Vision Pro – Already on the day of launch”, the student posted on the X account. “When the device crashes, it goes to full screen and displays a notification to remove the device within 30 seconds so that it can reboot.”
Since images of the hack appeared online, Apple has updated the Vision Pro user manual. In a section titled ‘Unauthorized modification of visionOS’, the company now warns against hacking Vision Pro, claiming it could cause the mirror and the system to become “permanently inoperable for the user.” Unauthorized changes to Vision OS bypass the security features and can cause many problems such as security breaches, instability and shortened battery life for the hacked Apple Vision Pro.”
Despite the reference to the issue in Apple, we have not updated whether the company is already working on a fix for the problem, and when it intends to release an update that will close the hole in the system that allows the breach.
