Livemint · 1y

Apple has fixed a bug in its Vision Pro system that allowed websites to flood a user's environment with virtual 3D objects. The vulnerability was discovered by a cybersecurity expert who used flying bats as an example to demonstrate the flaw. These virtual objects could persist in the user's space even after closing Safari. Apple has now implemented stricter security measures to control what can enter a user's personal space within Vision Pro, ensuring a higher level of security. The bug was publicly acknowledged, and the researcher who discovered it was rewarded with a bug bounty.
