Seems like you "did your research" a bit too late ^^

On another note, genuine question for

truth is, the exploit is from a renown person in the homebrew scene (not referring to the person reposting the video). And could be promising in the future, but right now, it does nothing.

What do you mean by "it does nothing right now, but could be promising in the future"? I think it was during the Wii U or the 3DS era, that we had some exploit that were a bit useless alone, but when using with other exploit, would allow CFW execution. Is that ROP exploit a bit the same thing? Or more like "We know it can be used to do something big, but we just don't know how to use it properly as of now"?

It means a userland exploit allows unsigned code execution with user permissions, as in we're still inside the walled garden. A dev should be able to explore the user allowed API functions at his leisure now. If by these means security issues are found between the seams of the different security levels of the system, those would most likely be reported to Nintendo through the bug hunting platform for cash or recognition.

At this point, nobody knows if it can be used to do something big, and that also depends on your definition of big. The only information to be extracted out of this is a piece of the Switch 2 software was susceptible to ROP. That's it. This specific chain is VERY likely to be patched, if it's not patched already.

It's fair for other users to claim nothingburger on this. Up to you to remain hopeful.

Thanks for explanation. Last thing, is it that same exploit that allowed the "grey square gif" to be displayed on Switch 2 day 1 release?
