    I’m still looking into this but, “backdoor” appears to be incorrect and sensationalist. A team used proprietary software to uncover undocumented opcodes related to the Host Controller Interface (HCI). This could provide a path for arbitrary code execution, if one already has control of the Host… In which case they can arbitrarily execute whatever code they want.
