A third party could read QR codes shown on screen during the Album's Send to Smartphone function and while using a kart in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. Both cases require the QR code to be displayed on the Switch itself, and Switch 2 is not affected. The issue was fixed in System Version 23.0.0, released September 10.","whyItMatters":"Nintendo's own disclosure puts a proximity-reading risk on two ordinary Switch features, and the fix already shipped on September 10, so the remaining exposure sits with anyone who has not updated.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe vulnerability appears in two places where the Switch puts a QR code on its own screen: the Album\u0026#39;s Send to Smartphone function and kart use in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit.
