Joseph Ravichandran, a security researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, claimed to have created a kernel exploit for the visionOS operating system installed in Apple Vision Pro.

Ravichandran shared an image of an app created for Apple Vision Pro in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The app has a button labeled 'Crash My Vision Pro' and an emoji of a skull wearing an Apple Vision Pro.



Apple Vision Pro crashes when you tap the app, runs in full pass-through mode when restarted, and displays a warning screen that says, ``Please remove your headset as it will restart in 30 seconds.''

Ravichandran also shared panic-full logs, showing that the kernel crashed.



Kernel exploits are attacks that attack the core of a system, and in some cases can be used to jailbreak . This announcement comes just one day after Apple Vision Pro was released on February 2nd, and Apple is likely to issue an update to fix the issue. It is not disclosed whether Mr. Ravichandran provided the information to Apple.
