Abstract
Metaverse is a compound word of the English words 'meta', meaning 'virtual' and 'transcendence', and 'universe' meaning the universe. dimensional virtual world. Metaverse is a concept that has evolved one step further than virtual reality (VR, a cutting-edge technology that enables people to experience life-like experiences in a virtual world created by a computer). It has the characteristic of being able to engage in social and cultural activities similar to reality. However, there are many security issues related to this, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities may occur. This paper analyzes cybersecurity threats that may occur in the metaverse environment and checks vulnerabilities.
