OnePlus phones running on OxygenOS have got a major security issue<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

OnePlus users have got an alarming update this week which affects them in a dangerous way. Security analysts have discovered a security flaw which allows apps to directly access the SMS messages on a phone that is running on the OxygenOS version. The bigger worry is that the security issues are yet to be fixed, which OnePlus should hopefully do in the next few weeks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
