- Google Pixel security vulnerability affects phones sold since September 2017, allowing potential surveillance or remote control by malicious actors.
- The issue was identified by iVerify after a flag was raised regarding an insecure Android device at Palantir Technologies.
- A hidden software package, Showcase.apk, was found on Google Pixel devices, initially developed by Smith Micro Software for Verizon in-store demos.
- The app could be manually enabled and, when active, posed risks for man-in-the-middle attacks, code injection, and spyware, potentially leading to significant data breaches.
- Google confirmed the software is no longer in use and plans to remove it from all Pixel devices, although no immediate updates have been released to address the vulnerability.
