Following the 9.00 PS4 WebKit Exploit / 4.03 PS5 WebKit Exploit, Full Chain Exploit Rumored and Root PS5 Keys Obtained yesterday Twitter lit up once again with various PS4 Scene / PS5 Scene developers taking interest after Mark Ermolov's Intel Processor Advisory disclosure of a non-damaging way to extract the security fuses (Chipset + EPID root keys) from the Intel platforms proceeded by Volodymyr Pikhur's AMD Server Vulnerabilities for November 2021 security bulletin. :geek:

For those unfamiliar with Volodymyr Pikhur (aka VPikhur)'s past contributions in the PlayStation 4 Scene, some highlights include being credited for PS4 Southbridge Processor work with EAP / EMC (PS5 EMC UART Pinouts) via side-channel analysis, glitching and ROM recovery in his PS4 IPL AES + HMAC Key Recovery project, a PS4 Presentation at Recon Brussels 2018 (PS4 Rest Mode REcon Slideshow PDF) discussing the custom PS4 Southbridge silicon's security failures and sharing PS4 APU Floor Plan High-Resolution Die Shots (following PS4 Syscon High-Res Images and prior to the PS5 SoC / APU / SSD-Controller Die-Shots) at Toorcon 2019 with speculation his way by ChappaYuan as a potential source of the leaked 7.0 PS4 Decrypted Filesystem and Kernel dump. 🚰

While there's currently no definitive consensus among PS5Scene devs publicly on whether the SMAP Bypass FreeBSD 12 Vulnerability May Affect PS5 or the Potential AMD SP (Secure Processor) Glitch for PS5 Fuses reported earlier this year, in mid-August some BIOS SUITE / HDT Serials for AMD Tools leaked but unfortunately an AMD login is required to fully unlock them. 🔓

As for consensus among PS4Scene devs, based primarily on Tweets embedded in previous SAMU-related topics it's fairly safe to surmise there are two distinctive groups- those with access to SAMU goodies and those without access... as the latter hopes these newfound AMD vulnerabilities may help level the playing field. If only both groups collectively worked together... 💞
:idea: I've recently been pointed to the first article from 2016 linked above by others a few times now, as apparently the Coreboot repository linked there has been updated over the last year or so quietly revealing SAMU's secrets. 🤫

:question: Could info some are seeking have been hidden in plain sight all this time? :unsure: That wouldn't surprise me any more than the oh-so-predictable Tweet directly below:

I rather like cfw or at the minimum a stable jailbreak for the ps4 since is on its way to the end of life soon. but for the ps5 is another story devs should not release a jailbreak for ps5 not now maybe in a 2 or 3 yeas more but not now. if they do it will kill the ps5 on the long run.
 
so this vulnerability permanently exists in their hardware :), the way to fix only make more entry, ps4 and ps5 how much sony pays to keep their console secured and getting more "stable" each update.
 
@draco43 Video games still sell regardless of whether there is a crack or an hack. Take switch for example, their games get leaked before official date and they still sell millions.

Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most popular game ever and it still sold million of copies and it did not use denuvo. Hacks and cracks exist due to many things but no matter what, the world we are in ain't gonna break ps5 due to some hack.
 
Yeah but full CFW MEANS MORE DOORS OPEN FOR HOMEBREW, full CFW could enable more reversing too go downwhich means more tweaks mods patches that are PERMANENT, pending ofw update. I loved full CFW on PS3, REBUG all the way.. hope to see more great advancements.

Also Gigaleak hurt Nintendo a great deal with the tegra bootloader source leaked it was trivial to find a niche, exploit that niche, and run arbitrary code. Nintendo's suing your butt off policy isn't helping anyone except Nintendo.
