Security researchers Mehdi Talbi and Quentin Meffre of French Infosec company Synacktiv have disclosed yesterday a Webkit exploit running on the PS4. The exploit, they say, runs on 6.xx firmwares, and could possibly be tweaked to run on 7.xx.
The fact that hacking utilities are publicly available up to 6.72 made it easier for the security researchers to weaponize their exploit on firmwares 6.xx. On 7.xx, however, they say further research is required to port their work. It is possible that hackers on the scene, with access to more exploits, could work on porting this webkit entry point to 7.xx firmwares.
