But it might be easier for Cellebrite to just stop exfiltrating data from Signal. Of course, other apps could discover similar vulnerabilities.

That's not enough. With file system permission, Signal could place files anywhere (like prepared gifs in the Pictures folder).

I think this taints any phone having Signal installed.
