Apple devices at risk after security researcher hacks ACE3 USB-C controller - SiliconANGLE
After exploiting these weaknesses, he was able to reprogram the controller to allow unauthorized actions, including bypassing security checks and injecting malicious commands. The vulnerability exploited by Roth was the result of Apple implementing insufficient safeguards in the controller’s firmware, allowing a determined attacker to gain low-level access through specially crafted USB-C cables or devices. As noted Saturday by Cyber Security News, the hack has significant implications for device security, as the ACE3’s integration with internal systems “means that compromising it could potentially lead to untethered jailbreaks or persistent firmware implants capable of compromising the main operating system.” Additionally, malicious actors could exploit the vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or control over devices.
