Android 0-day Vulnerability on Google Pixel Devices Actively Exploited in Attacks
Google patched CVE-2026-58704, an actively exploited Android zero-day allowing proximal privilege escalation via the Pixel cellular modem, urging the 2026-09-05 patch.
Google confirmed CVE-2026-58704, a high-severity elevation-of-privilege flaw in the Pixel cellular modem, is being exploited in limited, targeted attacks and shipped emergency fixes in the September 2026 Pixel Update Bulletin. The low-complexity bug requires no user interaction and enables proximal/adjacent privilege escalation with no additional execution privileges, phrasing Google has historically used for spyware-vendor and state-aligned zero-days. The Pixel bulletin patches 110 flaws including 12 critical RCEs, while the broader September Android update addressed roughly 180 vulnerabilities, including Wi-Fi memory-corruption bug CVE-2026-28662.

WeChat Worm Can Hijack Accounts Without Victims Answering Calls
Researchers demoed WeWorm, a zero-click WeChat worm hijacking accounts via incoming VoIP calls using a memory corruption flaw; Tencent patched it in August.
Researchers at Calif exploited a memory corruption bug in WeChat's VoIP system, taking over accounts through an incoming call even if the victim never answers or touches the phone. The attacker must already be a WeChat contact, but compromising a friend's account bypasses this, and chained calls spread the worm across three Android and iOS test phones in seconds. Tencent fixed the flaw in Android 8.0.77 and iOS 8.0.76 released in August, and researchers found no evidence of real-world exploitation. WeChat and Weixin reported 1.418 billion combined monthly active users at the end of 2025.

WeChat worm could pwn a friend before they even answered the call
Calif researchers demoed WeWorm, a zero-click WeChat VoIP memory-corruption worm enabling account takeover; Tencent patched it August 21.
Security firm Calif found a memory corruption bug in WeChat's VoIP stack that let a trusted contact take over a user's account simply by calling them, without the call being answered. The demo worm then called the victim's contacts to self-propagate across iOS and Android; declining the call prevented infection. Tencent pushed fixes on August 21, and Calif said chaining the bug with other Android and iOS flaws could yield full device control. Calif used AI to find the vulnerability and build its first RCE exploit in about two days.
