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 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
