If you spike the voltage on other pin you'd most likely trigger ESD protection which is just a diode that's connected to one of the power rails, and spike the chip's power supply.

Which would be detected if internal watchdog monitors voltages. But if spikes are short enough they might be pretty hard (or just expensive) to detect.
