Technical Details
The vulnerability affects a core component of the Android system, which means any OnePlus device running Oxygen OS 12 or higher could be at risk. Tests carried out on models such as the OnePlus 8T and OnePlus 10 Pro confirmed the presence of this issue. Without any user interaction or notification, malicious apps can eavesdrop on private communications or bypass SMS-based security checks.Limitations & Challenges
