PS5 Jailbreak News: New PS5 exploit confirmed to be patched in 8.00

hey what is going on guys welcome back to another PS5 jailbreak news update this should be a quick one here because I did say that I wanted to update you guys once we had some more information about the new PS5 kernel vulnerability that could lead to a new Jailbreak in the PS5 for a higher firmware so there have been a number of updates on this so this is the free BSD bug that I initially covered in my previous update uh right here so there's been a few updates so far firstly we thought that this may affect the PS4 as well but that has since turned out not to be the case because the PS4 is running an older version of FreeBSD FreeBSD 9 and this affects newer versions including the PS5 which is running free BSD 11 so this is not going to affect the PS4 but it will affect the PS5 now the other big question is what firmware uh this is actually going to apply to on the PS5 we weren't sure since this is a relatively new discovery from FreeBSD this vulnerability they've only just found out about it there was a possibility it could work all the way up to the latest PS5 firmwares and then on top of that we also got the release of new system software updates for the PS4 and PS5 bringing the latest firmware on the PS4 up to 12.0 and the latest firmware for the PS5 is now 10.0 so this new update coming out just about a day after this critical security flaw would suggest that perhaps this is the update that they quickly pushed out to patch the vulnerability however that turned out not to be the case because there's there's no mention in any of the update notes here about them patching any vulnerabilities normally they would mention in the update notes that they've made some security fixes to the system software but that is not in the update notes for the 10.0 update so it looks like they have not patched any vulnerabilities with this new version and this version was I believe in beta for a while so it was due to release uh any time so it looks like they just happened to drop it so it may just be a coincidence that they dropped this update a couple of days after this critical security flaw and we pretty much have that confirmed now because we know the firmware that is actually vulnerable to this exploit we know when they patched it and unfortunately it was patched quite a while ago so Flats broke the silence on this saying that it looks like 7.61 is the latest vulnerable version for the MTX bug just for your information and this appears to have been confirmed by others in the scene like Spectre who says that it's kind of wild that Sony doesn't seem to care about anyone else in the bstd ecosystem to Upstream vulnerability fixes and Hoards them so they don't get in zero days I'm obviously biased but it's still something I'd be kind of pissed about if I was in the BSD community so yeah just referring to the fact that Sony obviously knew about this going back a whole year and patched it in the PS5 about a year ago and yet despite this Sony did not seem to inform anybody else about this vulnerability which left other systems other systems that use free BSD vulnerable to this for over a year when Sony clearly knew about it so that is um a bit wild that they never bothered to kind of inform anybody else about this so that is a little disappointing especially if you are on a 8.x firmware or 9x firmware on your PS5 it looks like this is not going to apply to you but if you're on a 5.x 6.x or 7.x firmware then this will apply and hopefully will get a new jailbreak up to Firmware 7 61 it is also curious that 7.61 happens to be the latest firmware that's vulnerable to this cuz that also just happens to be the latest uh firmware that is vulnerable to the Blu-ray Drive exploit the BD jailbreak exploit makes me wonder if perhaps there was some kind of uh report to Sony that involved chaining uh the Blu-ray Drive exploit with this kernel exploit at the same time uh and that's how they patch them both in the same update perhaps um but I don't know that's just speculation on my anyway that is the latest information regarding that so this new exploit will work up to 7.61 uh we still need it to be exploited on the PS5 we need some kind of exploit chain cuz it still needs to be triggered from a userland exploit so I suspect the Blu-ray Drive exploit will probably be the the first thing that is tried to chain it with since it works all the way up to 7.61 so it would be the logical Choice hopefully we can also get some kind of web kit implementation uh the last known proper web kit exploit for the PS5 I believe is the PS3 exploit I think that only works up to 5.0 or 550 somewhere around there uh not a very high firmware which wouldn't be an ideal solution for this and then also there's the Master Core exploit you know that is still being worked on so perhaps some kind of chain with either Master Core or PS3 on older firmwares and you know BD jailbreak for higher firmwares up to 7.61 or hopefully some other webkit vulnerabilities that are being tested at the moment can turn into fullon webkit exploits and be chained with this up to a high enough firmware because obviously triggering this through the web kit would be a lot more convenient for everybody than having to use a Blu-ray disc because not everybody has a dis Edition console and cannot run the Blu-ray Drive exploit and then just the hassle of having to burn new discs every time something gets updated is not particularly you know the best but you know a web kit exploit would be better but BD jailbreak is definitely better than nothing so yeah hopefully we'll get some kind of implementation of this fairly soon now unfortunately there's a lot of people posting stuff that is pretty much useless um like there was this overflow webkit memory leak that a lot of people were posting to that's uh basically a nothing burger and then on top of that you also have you know various people testing webkit vulnerabilities and just because it says not enough free system memory they seem to think think that that means their consoles vulnerable uh which obviously is not necessarily the case just because you overload the browser's memory and it crashes just crashing the browser does not mean you have U something that's a valid exploit for uh the PS5 so yeah it still remains to be seen if we can get a valid webkit exploit to chain with this hopefully it will happen but if not there's always the Blu-ray Drive exploit there's Master Core there's other options uh for chaining with this uh new kernel vulnerability so anyway that's it for this one 7 61 that's going to be what looks like the latest jailbreakable firmware for the PS5 hopefully if this can be turned into a jailbreak so that's where things stand right now so hope you
