sbiewald4117295dSMS messages can be read by apps that can read SMS. A great tautology ;)
I'm not sure were your security bug lies, and if targeting Android, your app shouldn't pass the play store verification if you solely use the SMS permission for that purpose. -
24th-Dragon2347295dAlso there are multiple permissions for sms. I think the most restrictive one had to have some code at the beginning of the sms saying its for your app and you can read only those. Its a lot harder to get to play store with the less restrictive ones.

It is a functionality of Google Play Services apps can use.
