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.

I wish I kept my PS4 Pro and on a low firmware. But oh well, I'll play all these games in retirement, if I'm not dead or a hobo.

I am in the same situation as you. I just bought a PS4 slim on firmware 11.02. I will stay put at firmware 11.02. We may have a little bit of hope.

I gave up and updated to 11.52. (I have games I wanted to update.)

I'm on 11.52 I think that's the latest?
I need it up to date to watch YouTube lol

Good thing I own Okage :)
I read somewhere that TheFlow was going to release something at the end of September (perhaps a better exploit for all versions). Has anyone else heard anything regarding this?
