CVE-2025-24129Network attack vector

App termination via AirPlay type confusion

Published Jan 27, 2025 · Updated Apr 2, 2026

Type confusion in AirPlay in iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and visionOS allows attackers on the local network to crash an app. Apple has not disclosed the code-level locus, crafted input, or incompatible types involved and states only that improved checks address the issue. No authentication or user interaction is reported, and the bounded consequence is application termination rather than system compromise.
