Are radios such as Meshtastic resistant to spyware like Pegasus/Paragon that governments use to spy on people? (sh.itjust.works)

The software stack is a lot less complicated but OTOH the most common hardware (ESP32) has its own vulnerabilities. But, the exploit gear is in all likelihood less commoditized. And in principle you could make a more secure version of the hardware, that would cost more but not crazy amounts more.

Overall ask yourself what you are trying to keep secure, and take a more global view of how private info could possibly escape from where it belongs, rather than starting on specific parts of your network such as the radios.
