At least for AMD the PSP isn’t externally exposed which means the attack surface is drastically reduced.

When you say externally exposed, do you mean to the network, or physically exposed, or what?

It doesn’t sit on the network (unlike the ME) so an attacker needs to have access to the host already to be able to exploit any vulnerabilities on the PSP.
