For almost two years, the PS5 was positioned as a console where piracy was something strange to see. However, it seems that this could change shortly, since this hardware piece has suffered from a jailbreak that not only opens the doors to see a series of interesting changes , but also could make piracy easier of games.
According to MP1ST, the hacker known as The flow recently shared a document where he reveals an association with PlayStation, in order to eliminate important security errors and failures on his platform. This dissemination, as a result, detailed how a vulnerability in BD-J (Blu-ray Disc Java) allowed The flow to get access to the kernel in the console.
The interesting thing is that A patch for this fault came to PS4 two years ago, just before the launch of the PS5 . As a result, several community members began working on this security failure. One of these people is Sleirsgoevy, who a couple of days ago shared his results in GitHub.
It is important to mention that This exploit can only be executed in consoles that have version 4.0 3 of the firmware, which was launched in October 2021. That means that if you have been using its console since then to play online, and You are up-to-date with the latest updates, this exploit will not work in your system. This was what was said about it:
The exploitation strategy is mostly based on the few BSD/PS4 of The flow with some changes to adapt to the annoying PS5 memory design (for more information, see the Research Notes section). It establishes a primitive reading/writing (semi-arbitrary) arbitrary. This exploit and its abilities have many limitations and, as such, is mainly destined for developers to play with the reverse engineering of some parts of the system.
Also consider; Stability is quite low, especially compared to PS4 exploits. This is due to the nature of the error of being linked to a career condition, as well as the mitigation and design of the PS5 memory. This document will contain research on PS5 and this exploit.
Although it is very likely that this Jailbreak is used for piracy, This also allows hackers and developers to modify several aspects of what is possible with the games at this time. One of the cases that have been mentioned in the past is the possibility of offering a greater resolution and frame rate to games such as blood borne.
In related issues, the new PS5 has an improved chip. Similarly, this hardware piece has won the prize for the best 2022 console.
