From what I understand the communication transport is encrypted so it's designed to be secure.
The problem with this however is the sharing of the key. To be truly secure you'd need to share the key securely (i.e. in person), and explicitly trust everyone in that group not to leak the key, so it depends on which group you join and their opsec.
This is all based on my rudimentary understanding though. I am very interested in Meshtastic but UK law is quite restrictive about encrypted radio communication.
Pegasus runs on the device of the target, it can read everything before encryption
