Relapse exploit

A tool called Relapse Exploit, published on GitHub by developer ntfargo, claims to exploit the PlayStation 5, drawing sudden attention on Hacker News where it reached the top spot with more than 300 engagements. Details of what firmware versions or capabilities are affected remain sparse, and Sony has not commented. Gamers and security researchers are digging through the code to verify the claim.

A new jailbreak exploit for the PlayStation 5 has been made public, shared on GitHub under the name Relapse. If it works as claimed, it would let users run unsigned code on Sony's console, a milestone given the PS5 has resisted jailbreaks far longer than earlier PlayStations. Hackers and modders are discussing what firmware versions it affects and what homebrew it could enable.
