The British hacker Stephen Tomkinson discovered two attacks that can be done with Blu-Ray.
His first exploit is based on a poor Java application in the known application CyberLink's PowerDVD. PowerDVD plays DVDs on computers and creates menus using Java, but the way it uses Oracle's code allows you to bypass the security controls that Windows performs.
The result, as he says NCC Group, is that it is possible for executable Blu-Ray discs to run automatically when Windows starts, even when the settings are forbidden.
The second attack borrows, in part, from his discovery hacker Malcom Stagg, (τοBlu Ray rooting process) που εκμεταλλεύεται τον εντοπισμό σφαλμάτων κώδικα όταν πάει να ξεκινήσει ένα εξωτερικό USB.

Attackers should first determine the model of the DVD player used by the target to create a security exception specifically for this.
