A now-patched security flaw in Apple’s iOS and macOS operating systems could have potentially enabled apps with Bluetooth access to eavesdrop on conversations with Siri.
Apple said “an app may be able to record audio using a pair of connected AirPods,” adding it addressed the Core Bluetooth issue in iOS 16.1 with improved entitlements.
Credited with discovering and reporting the bug in August 2022 is app developer Guilherme Rambo. The bug, dubbed SiriSpy, has been assigned the identifier CVE-2022-32946.
