Gezine Demonstrates Debug Settings Access on PlayStation 5 Firmware 14.10

Security researcher Gezine has published a video showing access to the hidden Debug Settings menu on a retail PlayStation 5 running firmware version 14.10. Sony shipped the 14.00 update on October 1, which closed the previous kernel vulnerability used on 13.xx firmware, yet a new method was demonstrated only 18 days later. The technique is unrelated to the earlier Relapse exploit chain that worked up to version 13.60. Full system control is not achieved, and the previous method for extracting game executables no longer functions on 14.xx builds, likely requiring a separate hypervisor bypass. Gezine has stated that the new exploit details will not be released immediately and that any future disclosure decision will be made later.
