Sensitive Information Disclosure in Apple AirPlay

IdentifiersCVE-2025-24270CWE-200· Exposure of Sensitive Information…

CVE-2025-24270 is an Apple AirPlay-related information disclosure vulnerability affecting Apple platforms including macOS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS. According to Apple, an attacker on the local network may be able to leak sensitive user information. The issue was remediated by removing the vulnerable code, indicating the flaw was inherent to a specific code path in the AirPlay-related implementation rather than a simple configuration error. Public reporting around the AirBorne research attributes this CVE to the set of local-network AirPlay issues disclosed by Oligo. The available information does not identify the exact vulnerable function or protocol field, but it does establish that exploitation occurs from the same local network and results in unauthorized disclosure of user data.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

A successful exploit allows a local-network attacker to obtain sensitive user information from a vulnerable device. Based on the available advisory language, the primary impact is confidentiality loss rather than direct code execution or privilege escalation. In operational terms, this could expose private user data to an attacker with network adjacency, and may aid follow-on attacks by revealing information useful for targeting, impersonation, or further compromise.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Until patches are fully deployed, reduce exposure to untrusted local networks and restrict AirPlay availability where operationally feasible. Limit devices from joining shared or public Wi-Fi, disable AirPlay receiver functionality if not required, and constrain access to trusted users/networks only. Network segmentation and client isolation on local networks can also reduce exploitability by preventing attacker adjacency.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply the vendor fixes provided by Apple. Apple states this issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.4, macOS Sonoma 14.7.5, macOS Ventura 13.7.5, iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, iPadOS 17.7.6, tvOS 18.4, and visionOS 2.4. Apple indicates the vulnerability was addressed by removing the vulnerable code.
