There are several critical vulnerability types that the Kompakt will forever be at risk for now.

Elevation of Privilege - Malicious code that is able to exploit a vulnerability and gain root access, which compromises every single app on the device.

Remote Code Execution - Bluetooth and network connections, or even websites that are able to run malicious code on your device without any user interaction or permissions granted.

Take a look at the monthly Android Security Bulletin. Almost every bulletin has dozens of critical vulnerabilities of both types.
