Microsoft · Hololens · CVE-2024-57972
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Microsoft HoloLens 1 (Windows Holographic) versions 10.0.17763.3046 and earlier
Microsoft HoloLens 2 (Windows Holographic) versions 10.0.22621.1244 and earlier
**Description**
The pairing API request handler in Microsoft HoloLens allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service by sending many requests through the Device Portal framework, resulting in resource consumption and device unusability.
**Recommendations**
For Microsoft HoloLens 1 (Windows Holographic) versions 10.0.17763.3046 and earlier, update to a version later than 10.0.17763.3046 to resolve the issue.
For Microsoft HoloLens 2 (Windows Holographic) versions 10.0.22621.1244 and earlier, update to a version later than 10.0.22621.1244 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Device Portal framework to minimize the risk of exploitation.
