    According to the article, the culprit is showcase.apk, an in-store demo app. I couldn’t find it on my P5 running lineage so hopefully that means AOSP / custom roms not based on stock roms are not affected.

      The app is also not enabled even on a stock ROM, so the attacker would need to have physical access to your phone, and your password to enable the app before this man-in-the-middle attack could even be performed.
