This can help you pass CTS. It worked for me. Funny thing is, I don't even remember which app I did it for. Whatever it was, I ended up not using it after all the trouble. As for my banking apps, they only care about root, so Magisk's denylist does the job.

Nah, I'm still running a stock ROM on a pixel 3a. Looking at this guide, it looks like this tool is dead. So unless it works on android 12, I can't use it.

Enabling strict denylist actually causes my phone to break, it will randomly cause my phone to freeze up, and fail to load on phone unlock to the point I have to go into safe boot to disable my Magisk modules, only then will it boot correctly. - maybe I'm denying the wrong system apps for strict mode to work. I have still added apps to the denylist, however.

Im currently using universal Safetynet Fix to pass basic Attestation, and the only thing that fails to work is google wallets "tap to pay" feature. Which doesn't matter as my NFC reader is broken in any case.

Oh, I didn't notice it's dead. I just had it bookmarked because I remember spending a lot of time trying all sorts of workarounds before it and none of them ever worked (for CTS).

I used this for Android 11; there's a good chance it'll still work for that version. But like I said, I ended up not needing it anyway - my phone doesn't even have NFC! I think I mostly just did it as a FU to Google rather than for actual utility. :D

Just thought it worth mentioning that there are/were workarounds for CTS. Don't know how things are now on Android 12 and 13.
