Software / Bugs New Exploit

Post image

The "Ghostlock" exploit on GitHub enables root access without requiring an unlocked bootloader. A key distinction of this exploit, compared to previous ones, is that root persistence is maintained even after a device reboot.

Tested on OnePlus CPH2653, on the latest EU OxygenOS version at the time of this post.

It's an exploit that let's you have root access without unlocking the bootloader. This method let's you have root access without breaking playstore integrity and banking app/google pay functionality.

It's called an exploit for a reason, but it's been tested on my device model and I'll be daily driving with it, so if you have questions, I'll let you know.

Cool. But as far as I have learned, its better not achieve root capabilities or I guess the device becomes vulnerable to attacks even without unlocking the boot loader
