TheFloW releases new PPPwn kernel exploit for PS4, works on firmware 11.00

TheFlow has done it again--a new kernel exploit has been released for PlayStation 4 consoles. This latest exploit is called PPPwn, and works on PlayStation 4 systems up to official firmware 11.00, with support for 9.00 as well. The exploit was known about for months, and was eventually patched by Sony in a PS4 firmware update for 11.02, after TheFlow reported the vulnerability on HackerOne.

PPPwn is a kernel remote code execution exploit for PlayStation 4 upto FW 11.00. This is a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2006-4304 that was reported responsibly to PlayStation.

Supported versions are:

  • FW 9.00
  • FW 11.00
  • more can be added (PRs are welcome)
The exploit only prints PPPwned on your PS4 as a proof-of-concept. In order to launch Mira or similar homebrew enablers, the stage2.bin payload needs to be adapted.

The GitHub repository is available linked below, with instructions and further details about the exploit. You can also find important information regarding all PlayStation 4 exploits in the GBAtemp PS4 Exploit Guide.

Not unless you only want to play last gen games. You can get a fairly decent PC for about $700 now. Yes, that's more than a used PS4 Pro. It also does more. Even if you don't pirate games (Just grab repacks for that) they tend to be cheaper on PC anyway. Plus no online subscription.

Pirating on PC is risky business. Having an anti virus is not enough to prevent an attack, one of the reasons I switched to Mac. I could never resist the temptation to download piracy.

Just don't download random links. Stick to the official scene repacks. I used to pirate PC games when I was in high school with no money all the time.

Let's not forget about the Linux capabilities.

This sounds pretty nice! I have no idea what it means, but it sounds pretty nice.

I have not touched my PS4 Slim in a really long time, and I pretty much already have every game on it that I want as well as a 4TB external HDD for the ones I don't have room for.

What would something like this allow me to do?

That's pretty cool and we finally have all PS4s open.

Are there any *really* expensive PS4 exclusive games this would be interesting for? Because right now I have bought most of the games I haven't played yet either on PS4 or there's a more desirable PS5 version available (looking at you, Death Stranding, one of these days...).

While this is nice, no new exploits for PS3?
Huh? You can easily hack a PS3 in less than 10mins.

People forget about homebrew and 99% just want this for piracy.

Lapy is also a god in this scene.
That's true.

I filled up my OFW PS4 with games I bought on the PSN Store and haven't played it because I've been away from it. I did intend on playing via PS Remote App, but that app is garbage.

Despite being faster than the base PS4 they're still mediocre Jaguar+ cores. They're literally (old) tablet CPU cores. You can emulate some stuff but keep your expectations low.
Lol. Jaguar cores in a tablet.
Hilarious.

Not every model supports full CFW, i would assume thats what he was hoping for

It will allow dumpers to backport games to older versions meaning you can now play newer games that are beyond the 9.0 firmware. If you don't want to wait for the backport, you can instead upgrade to 11.0 once support is out.
