And given the difficulty hackers have had investigating the PS5 so far, I would bet that firmwares 4.03/4.50 will be very valuable for quite some time. So, PS5s are expensive, but those running on 4.03/4.50 could become even more so if we end up being able to run more than ROP code on them. On the other hand, if any significant progress is made on this firmware, the prices of these PS5s could increase even more. Nowadays nobody cares and everybody’s looking for a PS4 9.00. For a while, PS4 1.76 was super expensive because it was “the” hackable firmware. On the one hand, it’s possible nothing significant will come out, or not on this firmware. Please keep in mind that the following is just my personal opinion, ultimately you decide what to do with your own money. So what to do if you’re thinking of buying a PS5 in this context? Here’s my educated guess. On the other hand, the scene has never been that far in exploiting the PS5, and it’s pretty much guaranteed at this point that firmwares 4.03 and 4.5 will be at the front of investigations by multiples hackers, digging for more exploits or functionality inside the console. In other words, this isn’t a full Jailbreak, and for the end user, in its current state, this exploit most likely doesn’t bring anything useful.
It also means we cannot run any arbitrary code outside of the contest of the ROP chain for now. In parallel, eXecute Only Memory ( XOM) prevents from reading (and therefore dumping, let alone reverse engineering) the kernel from within the context of the exploit. In particular, The Hypervisor (HV) on the PS5 means all applications run in some Virtual Machine, which could honestly be enough for some homebrew environment, but will not let hackers access and patch kernel functions, the holy grail for a true Jailbreak. The PS5 has additional security measures that prevent the current exploit from doing much. Traditionally, on older generation consoles, this would be enough to claim victory for most people, with the possibility to run homebrew games and, yes, pirated games most likely. PS5 Kernel exploit – The current status, and its limitationsĪ Kernel exploit was released for the PS5 yesterday. The article has been significantly changed from the original publishing to reflect that. It seems recent revisions of this bundle now ship with Firmware 5.xx, so we cannot recommend this bundle as a “safe” way to ensure firmware 4.50. Important update: in an earlier version of this article, we recommended to buy the Horizon Forbidden West bundle, which was allegedly shipping with Firmware 4.50.
