According to Android's monthly security bulletin, hacking the system via USB would give full access to the phone: "The most serious vulnerability could allow a local attacker, using a specially crafted USB device, to execute a code arbitrarily. However, it is worth remembering that the hacker would need physical access to the smartphone to carry out the attack.
Another critical vulnerability addressed with the security update would allow remote access to the cell phone through a malicious file if the hacker had user privilege. In its update, Google also fixed an issue that allowed malware to bypass user interaction requirements and thus be able to access its permissions.
The security update is expected to be released in the coming weeks for Android phones. Learn how to update your smartphone system.
