PS4 Exploit: 5.05 Webkit exploit released, 4.55 functional Jailbreak

4
Developer AlexZzZ just released a proof of concept exploit for PS4 Firmware 5.01. The exploit has been independently confirmed by mathieulh to also work on firmware 5.05. Combined with Qwertyoruiop’s release of a Kernel exploit for 4.55 earlier today, this means PS4 Firmware 4.55 should now be fully exploitable.

According to the Readme, this exploit relies on a fairly recent Webkit vulnerability, CVE-2017-7005, which was already used on the Nintendo Switch by Team Reswitched. (It is likely the PS4 exploit was ported from the Switch)

A lot happened in the past 24h in the PS4 scene, and we need a bit of a recap:

Typically, in order to get a functional Jailbreak of the console, one needs two exploits: a usermode exploit which gives you limited code execution control within a specific process (a favorite target is Webkit), followed by some privilege escalation to get full access to the system (the kernel exploit).

Qwertyoruiop‘s kernel exploit is compatible up to firmware 4.55 included. However, he did not provide a usermode exploit to go with it (except he had in the past already released a webkit exploit compatible up to 4.07).

With Alexzzz’s release of a webkit exploit up to firmware 5.05, we now theoretically get full access up to firmware 4.55.

Ninja Does that mean PlayStation is 1 step closer to some kind of jailbreak/Jtag than Xbox one?


It was only a matter of time before it was jailbroken. Software always has it's holes but this just took a while to find i guess.


Xbox One will be Jtagged soon enough. Noting is impossible these days.


It just takes time, it took time on the 360, not as much but anti tamper wasnt great back then lol.

KyloCrux Can't believe the day has come where "next gen" is being hacked. took long enough! ;)


Sure is man, only a matter of time before XboxOne Jtaggable lmao, that will be insane and us modders can make some serious dollar again.


Tbf glitchers are currently making a fair amount. As long as these future mods are like MW2 days, they'll make a shit tonne. & I'll finwlly get to see these leeches people talk about.

M3 does this mean mod menus and such coming like on ps3 and xbox 360?


No, This means we can start doing such stuff on ps4 but not of the xbox one. Xbox one has pretty good console firmware and security.

who said anything about an xbox one???????????
