Google Pixel phones pwned in zero-click attacks

CISA added actively exploited zero-click Pixel modem flaw CVE-2026-58704 to its KEV catalog, giving federal agencies three days to patch.

Google disclosed CVE-2026-58704, a high-severity improper authorization flaw in Pixel phones' cellular modems that bypasses permission checks and escalates privileges with no user interaction, noting limited, targeted exploitation. CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog with a September 19 deadline for federal agencies. Such zero-click modem bugs are a frequent vector for commercial spyware. The Register also notes two recently KEV-listed Chromium V8 flaws, CVE-2026-85046 and CVE-2026-87491, which Proofpoint says four espionage groups chained in intrusions.

Unisoc VoLTE Video Call Exploit Chain Can Give Attackers Full Android Kernel Access

Unisoc modem firmware flaw CWE-1189 allows VoLTE video call RCE chain to gain full Android kernel access on T606/T612/T7250 chipsets; no patch yet.

SSD Secure Disclosure published the second stage of an exploit chain, first disclosed in March 2026, that achieves full Android kernel access on Unisoc modem firmware via a VoLTE video call. The privilege-escalation flaw, classified as CWE-1189 (Improper Isolation of Shared Resources on System-on-a-Chip), exploits shared physical memory between modem and application processor with no hardware boundary, letting modem code map the entire 32-bit address space and modify Android kernel pages via ARM Memory Protection Unit registers. Confirmed affected chipsets include Unisoc T606 (Motorola E13), T612 (Realme C33), and T7250 (Xiaomi Redmi A5), sold across more than 140 countries. No CVE has been assigned, the August 2026 Android Security Bulletin does not address it, and Unisoc has not responded to researchers; exploitation requires an attacker-controlled private 4G network and a victim answering the call.

Risky Bulletin: Slovakia finds Russian backdoor in traffic speed cameras

Slovakia's NBU found an SMS-triggered backdoor in Russian-made NERO R-ONE traffic cameras, pausing a 279-unit deployment.

Slovakia's national security service NBU issued an alert against NERO R-ONE high-speed traffic cameras after finding a backdoor that grants shell and network access via SMS from hardcoded Russian phone numbers. The cameras are a rebranded version of the Russian CORDON PRO.M model by St. Petersburg firm Semicon, purchased via a Cyprus shell company under a €30 million EU-funded project. The report also found SecureBoot disabled, vulnerable web management, and unauthenticated live streams; the Interior Ministry paused deployment of 279 cameras pending independent assessment.

LG TV shown scanning LAN for third-party phones and other devices

Security researchers showed LG OLED TVs scan local networks and collect nearby device details, raising privacy concerns for TV owners.

Gamers Nexus, working with Level1Techs and security researchers, used packet captures and Wireshark to show that LG TVs, including the $2,500 OLED65G3PUA and the G5 OLED, scan the local network for phones, smartwatches, and other unconnected devices. The TV's firmware can identify the user's IP address, nearby Wi-Fi network names and signal strength, neighboring channel numbers, and internal IP addresses of other devices. LG Ad Solutions marketing claims reach of 363 million 'addressable secondary devices' in the US, and LG says the scanning supports device connectivity and smart home features. It remains unclear whether the collected data is transmitted to LG for purposes beyond advertising.

A Malicious SIM Card Can Run Attacker Code Inside the Modems Behind Cellular IoT Devices

Researchers showed malicious SIM cards can issue RUN AT commands to execute code on Qualcomm modems, compromising Quectel-based cellular IoT devices like EV chargers.

Researchers at the University of Birmingham and Fuzzware found 9 of 26 tested devices accept SIM proactive commands, including six Qualcomm-based cellular modules, five of them Quectel. They achieved code execution on a commercial Autel EV charger via the Quectel EC25's atfwd_daemon unsafe format string, and demonstrated an irreversible 2G downgrade, modem power-off, and arbitrary file reads via a root TFTP daemon on a Quectel EG25-G. Attacks require a hostile SIM already in the slot or an interposer; no attacks have been reported in the wild. Qualcomm has built a hardened configuration disabling the interface by default and Quectel mitigated the file-access flaw; the paper was presented at USENIX WOOT.

LG accused of 'egregious invasion of privacy' over TV data collection

Gamers Nexus alleges LG smart TVs record audio and generate transcripts in standby while harvesting location, network, and device data for LG's ads business.

Researchers at Gamers Nexus claim LG smart TVs continued capturing audio after voice recognition activated, including in standby, producing plaintext transcripts, some stored locally and sent after reconnection. Testing reportedly found collection of IP addresses, location data, nearby Wi-Fi network details, and enumeration of unpaired local devices such as phones, routers, and PCs, with data flowing to LG Ads Solutions. The team is coordinating responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities including an alleged remote code execution flaw. LG says its TVs do not collect, record, or store ambient conversations and that voice recognition is optional.

Getting a stranger’s phone kicked off the cellular network costs a few dollars

Researchers show attackers can remotely block strangers' phones and alarm gateways on US cellular networks by abusing lost/stolen IMEI reporting for $2.50-$4 per device.

Researchers from Michigan State University and three partner schools found six weaknesses in the lost/stolen device reporting ecosystem spanning devices, carrier systems, and cross-carrier block-list sharing. They demonstrated blocking unopened Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 phones and home alarm gateways on three major US carriers, with each block costing $2.50-$4 and taking roughly 20-80 seconds. The attacks exploit thin identity and ownership checks in prepaid accounts, IMEI leakage from vulnerable cellular chipsets used by two vendors with over 40% global market share, and pre-release IMEI databases purchasable for $600. Victims receive no notification, and restoring service requires proving device ownership to the carrier.
