CVE-2024-29748
Android Pixel Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. Exploitation in the wild is confirmed by CISA, not predicted.

Risk summary
Actively exploited Android Pixel vulnerability, High severity, CVSS 7.8. Added to the CISA KEV catalog 2024-04-04.
Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2024-29748
An oddly specific but serious Pixel flaw: an attacker can interrupt a factory reset triggered by a device admin app, undermining the remote wipe that MDM relies on when a phone is lost or seized. Forensic and physical-access scenarios are the concern here, reflected in the 1 percent EPSS against a confirmed KEV listing from April 2024. If your incident response plan assumes a wipe command finishes, this bug breaks that assumption on unpatched Pixels.
Do this: Update managed Pixel devices and verify in your MDM that wipe commands to Pixel hardware complete and report success.
