The ARM Cortex-A72 processor was vulnerable to Cache Timing Side-Channel exploitations such as Spectre.
( see https://developer.arm.com/supp... )
The Rasberry PI 3 Model B uses the Cortex A53 in-order chips which are not affected because they lack the speculative execution required for this vulnerability.
However, any device is going to bring it's own potential vulnerabilities:
"A report published this week by the NASA Office of Inspector General reveals that in April 2018 hackers breached the agency's network and stole approximately 500 MB of data related to Mars missions. The point of entry was a Raspberry Pi device that was connected to the IT network of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) without authorization or going through the proper security review." from https://www.zdnet.com/article/...
