  I did a similar search for our A51 phones (one still in use). The "AI
Overview' lists 'Key Vulnerabilities and Patches' including the
Exynos modem, but these were all patched in (dated) updates. 

  The search did not specifically list any vulnerabilities which were
*not* patched for this out-of-support device.

  So the kind of information Carlos is looking for, is not readily
available, hence his wish.

  Anyway, as I (think I) mentioned before, that the *device*/*OS* has
outstanding non-fixed vulnerabilities, does not mean that an *app* on
such a device can not be secure (provided the device's biomaterics, etc.
are not compromised).

  That said, most 'banking' I do on my phone [1] is *reading* (past
transactions, etc.), not performing transactions. Most, if not all,
transactions are done on my (probably totally insecure :-)) laptop, in
the privacy of my (probably totally insecure :-)) home.

[1] which still is in support
