⚡️🚨 NEW - Researchers found six wireless pre-authentication vulnerabilities in Apple AirDrop and Google/Samsung Quick Share, the proximity file-transfer protocols running on over 5 billion devices. The bugs are reachable from wireless range with no pairing.
Five are denial-of-service or protocol-manipulation flaws. One, a use-after-free in Quick Share for Windows, earned a Google bounty and is rated potentially exploitable. The team says it could not bypass the file-transfer consent prompt.
Apple, Samsung, and Google have acknowledged the reports Most are not yet patched, and no CVEs have been assigned, with one pending for the Windows bug.
