Unpatched OnePlus Flaws Let Installed Android Apps Gain Root Without Permissions

By [email protected] (The Hacker News)

AI Summary

Researcher Rasmus Moorats disclosed two chained vulnerabilities in OnePlus OxygenOS that allow a malicious Android app requesting no special permissions to achieve full root access on a OnePlus 15 running the latest firmware. OnePlus confirmed the same flaws affect numerous additional OnePlus and OPPO devices, though patches have not yet been released. Until OxygenOS updates are available, users should avoid sideloading apps and restrict installation to trusted sources.
