  • •A new exploit for PS5 firmware v14.00+ has been disclosed.
  • •The exploit allows unauthorized kernel access through a two-stage browser attack.
  • •Users are advised to use the exploit only on devices they own and comply with legal regulations.

On September 29, 2026, a new exploit targeting PS5 firmware versions v14.00 and above was disclosed. The exploit, known as 'Relapse', was developed by Nathan Fargo and others, allowing unauthorized kernel access through a browser-based attack. The method involves a two-stage process: a browser stage that exploits JavaScript engine vulnerabilities and a kernel stage that leverages a use-after-free condition. Users are advised to set their Primary DNS to `45.56.67.85` and run a local server to deploy the exploit. This project is intended for educational and security research purposes only, emphasizing compliance with laws and regulations. The exploit may cause system instability and requires users to reboot their consoles if it hangs. No specific vulnerabilities (CVEs) were mentioned, and the exploit is currently available as proof-of-concept code. The impact is limited to users with the specified PS5 firmware versions who attempt to use the exploit.
