That’s absurd, no it doesn’t. It refers to a combination of the 2011 defcon demo of eliciting a device to sync data by default and a fever-dream of getting code execution by abusing the USB stack.
You’re thinking of BadUSB or OMGCable.
1) which is a totally different attack
2) not especially applicable to smartphones
3) very much a thing that happens in real life (I have responded to incidents where one was used)
Lastly, there are plenty of CVEs issued for “feature abuse”, that’s a meaningless distinction.
