OnePlus Ignoring Massive Security Flaw: Your Messages Are at Risk!

Security researchers revealed a critical bug in OnePlus smartphones, allowing any app to read SMS and MMS data. This vulnerability, stemming from OxygenOS 12, has remained since late 2021. Despite efforts, OnePlus hasn’t responded to fix this flaw, leaving users to wonder if their texts have become public domain.

Hot Take:

OnePlus users, it’s time to hit the panic button — but don’t expect any help from OnePlus itself! This bug is the tech equivalent of leaving your front door wide open while a parade of nosy neighbors stroll by. And with Rapid7’s public disclosure, it’s like they’ve just handed out binoculars to everyone in the parade. Let’s hope OnePlus wakes from their deep slumber before someone decides to crash the party.

Key Points:

– OnePlus phones with OxygenOS 12 and above are vulnerable to a critical bug.
– The bug allows unauthorized access to SMS and MMS data without user interaction.
– Rapid7’s attempts to contact OnePlus for a fix have been ignored.
– The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2025-10184 with an 8.2 severity rating.
– Users are advised to switch to authenticator apps for MFA and use encrypted messaging apps.
