A series of vulnerabilities has been found in OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T bootloader. A security researcher has discovered that OxygenOS 3.2 through 4.0.1 has a critical vulnerability. However, the company has fixed the vulnerability in OxygenOS 4.0.2 and OxygenOS 4.0.3, which was rolled out to OnePlus 3T.
The main role of the security loophole is that it enable anyone with two native fastboot commands to disable the verified boot feature. It can be performed without actually unlocking the bootloader with the user-accessible command. According to researchers, malicious code can be easily triggered without resetting the use data.
In a statement released to the press, OnePlus has clarified that the vulnerability has been patched in OxygenOS 4.0.2 for OnePlus 3. Moreover, the company has already started to push 4.0.3 to OnePlus 3T owners, which provides enhanced and optimized exposure while capturing night time images. Moreover, the update also comes with Amazon Prime app for India-based users in addition to bug fixes related to Wi-Fi.
On the specifications front, the OnePlus 3 features a 5.5-inch FHD Optic AMOLED display, Snapdragon 820 processor, Adreno 530 graphics, 6GB RAM, 64GB storage, 16MP rear camera, 8MP front-facing snapper powered by a 3000mAh battery.
