‘Scary’ Apple Vision Pro bug allows hackers to fill room with spiders, bats

Published on



Talk about a software bug.

A tech expert discovered “an unusually ‘scary’ vulnerability” in the Apple Vision Pro headset which lets hackers flood your virtual reality with spiders, bats and other spooky terrors.

In other words, while sitting calmly in your living room with the headgear on, an army of arachnids may pop out of cyberspace and crawl toward you as a barrage of bats begins to fly overhead.

It includes sound and all invading your augmented, real-life location.

Researcher Ryan Pickren recently uncovered the creepy security gap, triggered by opening harmful websites in Safari, and wrote about how easily a user can get trapped in the neverending nightmare.

Essentially, all a person has to do is accidentally visit the wrong website and then say goodbye to their sanity.

“It allows a malicious website to bypass all warnings and forcefully fill your room with an arbitrary number of animated 3D objects,” Pickren wrote, adding that it requires “no user interaction whatsoever.”

“Even better, these features work by default out-of-the-box, so the victim does not need to enable any fancy experimental features.”

Meanwhile, having to play virtual pest control after an attack only adds insult to injury.

“There is no obvious way to get rid of them besides manually running around the room to physically tap each one,” he added.

“Closing Safari does not get rid of them.”

Fortunately, Apple has since addressed the bug of all bugs, the company recently announced.
