Unpatched OnePlus OxygenOS local privilege-escalation flaws let a malicious no-permission app gain root on affected phones. The chain uses AtlasService and olc2 to move from an installed app to system-level control. OnePlus had not released a fix at disclosure time, and the issue may extend beyond the OnePlus 15 to other OnePlus and OPPO devices.
