I do not think that a radio interface could have enough access to facilitate decryption of an encrypted volume. What I imagine it has enough access to do is to pivot to the OS running on the main CPU via a bug in the interface that is exposed for the radio to communicate with the main CPU.

From there they would likely have to exploit a number of other bugs to get into the position that they want to be in.
