Over 400 vulnerabilities on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip

I wonder if Apple/others knew about such vulnerabilities, and passed up on using the chip as a risk? Or, was it just dumb luck that they avoided this?

If you have connections to the real infosec world. They'd avoid it.

Hardware vulnerability and issues are hard to address at times as it can be connected to other vendor hardware or softwares. I always wonder if these flaws are left in the design intentionally or its just a sneaky bad bugs.
