Apple Vision Pro vulnerability could scare users with spiders and mice
A feature of the Safari browser built into the device allowed websites to be configured so that when opened through the Vision Pro glasses, images that frightened users would appear on the screen. Typically, these sites showed models of spiders, bats, and other scary insects and animals.
In fact, the vulnerability was not dangerous – after all, any website can be configured in such a way that it displays different content for different devices: a smartphone, a computer, or an AR and VR headset. At the same time, the sudden appearance of a large, moving spider that emitted loud, high-pitched sounds could scare users.
The issue was discovered by security researcher Ryan Pickren in February. He reported it to Apple, and the company’s engineers fixed the bug in the June update to visionOS 1.2.
We previously wrote that the Apple Vision Pro headphones went on sale outside the United States for the first time. They cost $3,500.
