> Exploit chain for PS5 firmware 7.00–13.60: a WebKit/JSC browser stage and a kernel stage that achieves kernel read/write. Aimed at security researchers and console owners studying PS5 vulnerabilities.

- Magnitude: 8.0 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 780 total · +802 stars today, ≈ 940 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Security · Language: JavaScript · License: MIT · Created: 2026-09-17 · Last push: 2026-09-29

## Useful for

- Run the exploit on your own PS5 via DNS or local serve.py to load payloads
- Study the JSC info leak and aio_multi_wait UAF chain for kernel r/w
- Load a custom ELF payload through the ELF loader on port 9021

## Why it’s here

- 802 stars so far today, about 940 expected by the end of the day.
- The repository is 12 days old and already has 780 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Hacker News: “New PlayStation 5 Console Jailbreak Released” — 113 points, 4 h ago.
- About 280 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 212
- Issues and pull requests: 0
- Watchers: 13
- Average over the last week: 134 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 60

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
