- Lane: Research
- Severity: 1 (Research / proof of concept): Research paper demonstrating an AI-based localization attack on cellular networks.
- Fix status: Fix status unknown
- First reported: 2026-11-03
- AI role: Attack on AI

## Summary

Researchers demonstrate that plaintext channel state information leaked in cellular networks can be leveraged by an AI model to localize user equipment. The paper also proposes a privacy-enhancing mechanism to protect user location data against such localization attacks.
