Do I have to be careful when borrowing someone else’s off brand lightning cord or battery block because it can gain access into my data some how?

I’ve become aware that not all charging plug-Ins just charge a phone. They can give other uses too. I don’t want to speculate. I’d like to know the features. Can someone get my data or install a tracking app or change my iPhone XS in anyway just by plugging it in to the wall?

iPhone XS, iOS 14

The answer to your question is NO, they cannot steal your data or install anything but a poor quality cord or charger could damage your phone hardware.
