Hacking Something that could work for an exploit?

[Auriosi]

Ok, so I'm no hacker, but I do like to check in on different scenes to know what is going on in them, and I had a thought for this one. Would it be possible to embed code into a photo, have the console run the code, which points to an exploit file (executable?) on a USB, which would, of course, exploit the console. I have dug further and found out that apps are also in a sandbox, but that there also might be a way to elevate a process.
I know it probably wouldn't, but I'm just curious at the moment and have no clue how to embed code, so I couldn't really test it.

no. hacking a xbox 1 is nothing like hacking the psp with a simple picture file with code in it. There's really no reason to hack it anyway. Dev mode is free and gives you legal access to launch homebrew on the system.

Oh, ok. Thanks for the info!
