  • I think you’ll be fine as long as CalyxOS is supplying your device with Android security updates. As an average user, with no reason to be the subject of targeted attacks, firmware vulnerabilities are not a huge concern (assuming your OS and other software are up to date with security patches).

    Of course, if someone hostile gets physical access to your device, firmware becomes more important. Remote exploitation of a firmware vulnerability typically requires first exploiting a software vulnerability (and CalyxOS is updating your OS software). With physical access, one might skip that step by connecting a cable to your phone and interacting with it directly.
