> The vulnerability allows any device plugged in to the "kiosk" with a malicious file to do anything it wants to any existing report on the "kiosk" as well as plant code for future execution in order to do anything else it wants.

It is not clear from the article that analyzing a phone with malicious files will trigger the issue, unbeknownst to the operator. (E.g. it says "it is possible to execute code that...", etc.) However, I'll take your word for it and assume it was poor reporting in this case.

That does change things, thanks for the clarification.

You're correct, the reporting is pretty poor, Moxie's own account of this on the Signal blog[1] is better.
