A strange Google Wallet bug, which affects smartphones running Android 5.0 and up, may expose your credit card details under a very specific set of circumstances. Google is aware of this vulnerability (CVE-2023-35671), and a fix is included in the September 2023 security update for devices running Android 11 and later. At the time of writing, the September 2023 security update is only available on select smartphones (excluding Pixel phones, oddly enough), though you can avoid the Google Wallet exploit by disabling or avoiding a certain Android feature: Screen Pinning.
