Do you only use your port on Android for charging? It's also super useful for HDMI. And, yeah, peripherals.
I don't consider that a vulnerability though. It's just useful. The problem here is someone can do it without you noticing them and while you're using it for sensitive things.

- rini17 3y agoPerhaps you missed that "charging only" is a setting for when you really only want to allow charging when the charger is sus? At any other time, sure, get wild.
- capitainenemo 3y agoYou said a "charging only" port, thanks for the clarification. I interpreted that as the physical port, not an android setting to filter communications on the port. I don't think I'd ever trust a random cable even with an OS config setting. BTW. physical port charging only ports do exist.. Still wouldn't trust 'em w/ random cables though. Other end might deliver too much power if nothing else. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_condom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_condom
