If you're talking about the T2 vulnerability - no, PD negotiation is not sufficient, you need arbitrary data communication.
sorry, but NO I didn't meant to say that. but part of the problem and part of the solution was usbc/nomore usbc.

Do you happen to have that github link with the poc link to youtube?

mind sharing a reference? didn't say it's a pd vuln btw edit: ah, I see – did say exactly that.
It's not just pd, it does all the wacky Samsung and other negotiation types too.
