arXiv:2609.23173v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Hardware trojan (HT) attacks against CPUs typically assume threat scenarios where an attacker targeting a system with a trojanized CPU is able to execute arbitrary code (i.e. machine-level instructions) to reliably interact with the implanted trojan. On end-user devices (i.e., mobiles, laptops), achieving arbitrary code execution in practice requires software exploits tailored to each specific target.
