@PC_[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Cellular basebands are very comparable to the basebands for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, UWB, GNSS and other radios. They are not particularly special and do not have privileged access on a modern smartphone. Pixels have a well isolated cellular radio with a lot of extra hardening (https://security.googleblog.com/2024/10/pixel-proactive-security-cellular-modems.html). Compromising cellular radio with an exploit is very difficult and does not provide control over the device. You'd need an OS exploit from there.
