OnePlus Phones Leak SMS To Apps, Patch Arrives In 2025-ish
In a shocking turn of events, OnePlus convincingly proves that your messages are now just public property across OxygenOS versions 12, 14, and 15, while 2020's OxygenOS 11 somehow remains untouchably secureālike a tech fossil. Security firm Rapid7 stumbled on this SMS free-for-all after testing only the mysterious OnePlus 8T and 10 Pro 5G, then announced OnePlus wouldn't fix the flaw until mid-October 2025 at the earliest. OnePlusās unnamed spokesperson soberly stated the fix is 'rolled out globally' post-mid-October, which experts interpret as 'never.' Rapid7 also shared their failed attempts to privately whisper to OnePlus, thwarted by a restrictive NDA and silence louder than a OnePlus fan beanbag convention.

If your OnePlus phone was thirsty for your SMS secrets, now itās a waterfall. Mid-October patch? Thatās sliding into 2026 at this point.
OnePlus phones letting apps read your texts without permission is just their way of saying 'we trust you'... too much, apparently.
