Key facts

CVE	CVE-2026-58704
Vendor	Google — Pixel
Vulnerability	Google Pixel Improper Authorization Vulnerability
Added	16 September 2026
Deadline (US agencies)	19 September 2026
Ransomware campaigns	unknown

Description (CISA)

Google Pixel devices contain an improper authorization vulnerability in the cellular modem. A logic error may allow an attacker to bypass permission checks and escalate privileges.

Required action (CISA)

Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes). Follow applicable BOD 26-04 guidance for cloud services or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Stakeholders are responsible for evaluating each asset's internet exposure and ensuring adherence to BOD 26-04 patching guidelines.

What admins should do now

Affected? Check whether Google Pixel is in use and which version runs (package manager, admin UI, --version).
Apply the vendor patch or workaround as soon as it exists. If that is not possible right away: restrict outside access (firewall, VPN, reverse proxy).
Review logs back to 16 September 2026: unusual logins, new files, unexpected processes, outbound connections.
If you suspect a compromise: isolate the system, rotate credentials, check the last backup from before the incident.

The deadline applies to US federal agencies. It is still a useful yardstick for everyone: when a flaw is attacked in the wild, waiting is not an option.
