Google has addressed a security vulnerability called 'Pixnapping' that could allow malicious apps to steal sensitive data from secure apps on Android devices, including Pixel and Samsung Galaxy models. A partial fix was rolled out in September, with a further patch expected in December to fully resolve the issue, which involves exploiting Android's Intent system and GPU side channels.
