PS4 6.XX JSC_ConcatMemcpy WebKit Exploit POC via C0rpVultra
Since his PS4 Notification Tool release, developer @Wultra (aka C0rpVultra on Twitter) has been testing vulnerabilities and found that a JSC_ConcatMemcpy_InfoLeak WebKit exploit reported by externalist affects PlayStation 4 consoles running PS4 Firmware 6.00, PS4 Firmware 6.02 and even Sony's latest PS4 Firmware 6.10 Beta system software and documented these findings on his repository below with a PS4_JSC_ConcatMemcpy_POC. 
Download: PS4_jsc_ConcatMemcpy_POC-master.zip / Live Demo / Mirror by @EdiTzZ / GIT / CVE-2018-4358
Needless to say this is a 6.XX PS4 WebKit (Userland) exploit and not a Kernel-level exploit, meaning until a fully implemented 6.XX Kernel exploit is publicly available you won't be able to jailbreak these PlayStation 4 consoles so don't update!

Streets Of Rage PS4 Homebrew Mod v0.9 PKG Released by Markus95
Following his PS3 Port and recent Dragon Ball FighterZ Mods, PlayStation 4 developer @Markus95 is back with a Streets Of Rage PS4 Homebrew Mod v0.9 PKG released via Twitter today with details below! 
Download: Streets_Of_Rage_v0.9.pkg (178 MB)
To quote from the blog post at Logic-Sunrise.com on the Streets Of Rage v0.9 PKG release, roughly translated:
After the PS3, Wii, Wii U, PSP, PS Vita and Switch versions, here is my MOD of Streets Of Rage on the last Sony console, the PS4.
This Homebrew works on all PS4 jailbroken consoles (4.05, 4.55, 4,74 and 5.05). It works thanks to the emulation PS2 and OpenBOR, it turns to 100% but contains for the moment only the mode EASY, modes NORMAL and HARD will arrive in the next release (which will not be long).
There are still some sound bugs that will be fixed in the final version, to enjoy this MOD you just need to install it by Debug Setting like any PKG.

OpenGL ES for PS4 Writeup and PlayStation 4 GL Test by Flat_z
This past week we saw some Tweets from @zecoxao on Twitter of OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) for PS4 homebrew in development, and today PlayStation 4 developer @flatz made available an OpenGL ES for PS4 Writeup and PlayStation 4 GL Test on Twitter which can also be found below.

To quote from the index.html file: OpenGL ES
Overview
Zer0xFF and masterzorag were working on making it usable for homebrew applications but then got stucked with native shader compilation. So I've decided to give it a try.
However I have experienced other problems as well, which were solved successfully. Basically they appeared because I decided to implement OpenGL ES application as my own PKG based application. But OpenGL ES in browser didn't work for me too and I don't know if it's because I've used a more recent firmware than guys did or because I did some dumb mistake. So, nevermind, let's begin.
Library linking macroses to make fake C function definitions that gets prefix __declspec(dllexport) during compilation but the actual code is not included in an object file due to usage of --stub-only flag during linking process. Then linker generates proper NID tables in a static library which are resolved during runtime linking.
Also it was possible to specify custom function name with some specific NID value if the...

This comes following the previously released Ghosts 1.00 SPRX Modding Menu, IH-Editor PS4 RTM Tool / PRXtoSPRX updates and PS4 Community Trainer v2.1.0.0 with details from the video's description to quote:
Showing off a small menu base that I have been working on. Huge thanks to Custom Hooker for porting the engine text addresses!
AppendumPS4 .ELF Off-Host Menu Reloading at Runtime!!!
For all requests, you can load .elf's/.bin's with my PS4 Loader:
To quote from the README.md: Cleaned elf for PS4 supporting c++ and includes imports and utility classes
PlayStation 4 Cleaned ELF
This is a source for building ELF files on the PS4
This is not system version specific, so it will work on 4.05, 4.55, 5.05 etc
