Overview
- Rapid7 publicly detailed CVE-2025-10184, an 8.2-severity permission bypass that grants SMS and MMS access with zero user interaction and no special app permissions.
- The issue traces to OxygenOS changes starting in version 12 and remains present through version 15, with OxygenOS 11 appearing unaffected in tests.
- Researchers confirmed impact on OnePlus 8T and 10 Pro devices and warned other OnePlus models likely qualify given the core Android component involved.
- Rapid7 reports months of unanswered outreach to OnePlus and inability to use the vendor’s bug-bounty program due to restrictive NDA terms; OnePlus has now acknowledged the disclosure and says it opened an investigation.
- With no patch available and no confirmed in-the-wild exploitation reported, users are advised to minimize installed apps, remove non-essential software, shift from SMS-based MFA to authenticator apps, and prefer end-to-end encrypted messaging.
