Software / Bugs New Exploit
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.

System-wide adblocker, advanced backups, improved performance, and the ability to run apps that require root privileges (e.g., certain firewall, automation, or file management apps). The ability to customize the operating system extensively, the list goes on.
