Google Pixel owners urged to patch actively exploited modem flaw

Google’s September 2026 Pixel Update Bulletin patches 110 vulnerabilities and calls out CVE-2026-58704 — a high-severity logic error in the cellular modem that could allow privilege escalation without additional user interaction. Google warns the flaw may be under limited, targeted exploitation, requires adjacent network access and some existing basic privileges on the device, and affects Pixel-specific modem components; users are advised to install the September 5, 2026 update to remediate the issue.
