"Finally the secret 'Wii U Browser Exploit' is now out in the wild for everyone to enjoy on their Nintendo Wii U Console, if you lucky enough to still be at v4.10 firmware."

I'm in 5.0.0, but I'll try it and I see what happends...
I checked maxconsole, sorted by "wii" (which also catches wii u news) and no such story.
edit: I guess it's in their "underground" section.
It's old webkit. Finding another exploit isn't an issue. The real issue would be if nintendo tightened the browser's permissions.
Also what's this about no code execution? This package clearly is able to do ROP stuff. If that's not code execution, I'm not entirely sure what is.
No need, we've already done so. Doesn't work. Like we've said many times, the bug is still there (though in future updates it won't be because some idiot decided to leak an unfinished exploit for nintendo to patch), but we have no code execution.

One leak isn't going to singlehandedly slaughter the scene like you seem to think it will.As a developer, it isn't fun having your work released unfinished and untested (See PS3 CFW) and having an exploit closed before future fimrwares can take advantage of it. Just look at the exploit itself. The idea is to have a way in so you can document the entire system and find further vulnerabilities. Now 5.0 will be the last hackable firmware you can take advantage of. Even if it's as easy as "Old webkit", I doubt any dev would be willing to put forth the effort after this.
