Provenance

Reported as

Google's Project Zero developed a zero-click exploit chain targeting Pixel 10 phones, achieving full escalation from remote access to kernel-level compromise without user interaction.

Mechanism

A zero-click remote exploit chain that escalates privileges from an initial remote entry point to kernel-level access on Pixel 10 devices, bypassing all user interaction requirements and likely leveraging vulnerabilities in baseband, messaging, or media processing components.

Detection & mitigation

Monitor for unexpected privilege escalation events (e.g., new root processes, kernel module loads, or unauthorized capability assignments) via EDR and kernel audit logs. Mitigate by ensuring timely patching of baseband, messaging, and media components, and enable exploit mitigations like Control Flow Integrity (CFI) and sandboxing.
