=== FW <= 7.61 - BD-JB2 - Path traversal sandbox escape by TheFloW ===

See [https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps4/Vulnerabilities#FW_%3C=10.71_-_BD-JB2_-_Path_traversal_sandbox_escape_by_TheFloW].

==== Patched ====

'''Yes''' on PS5 FW 8.00.

=== FW <= 4.51 - BD-JB - Five vulnerabilities chained by TheFloW ===

See [https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps4/Vulnerabilities#FW_%3C=9.00_-_BD-JB_-_Five_vulnerabilities_chained_by_TheFloW].

==== Patched ====

'''Yes''' partially on PS5 FWs > 4.50 (need to test). Probably unpatched on FW 4.51 and patched on FW 5.00.

== WebKit exploits ==

=== Modal Browser HTTPS Bypass ===

* It is possible to bypass HTTPS in the modal browser, if you reply to the HTTPS CONNECT with a standard HTTP 1.1 response, instead of attempting to create a tunnel. The web browser will just display that response. The downside to this is that you have no idea of what the contents of even the HTTP REQUEST would have been, but it is useful for redirecting the web browser to any website you want.

==== Patched ====

'''No''' as of PS5 FW 5.10.

=== FW 6.00-9.60 - Unknown heap and string overflow (no CVE) leading to crash ===

See also [https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps4/Vulnerabilities#FW_?10.00?-11.52_-_Unknown_heap_and_string_overflow_(no_CVE)_leading_to_crash].

==== Patched ====

==== Tested ====

Tested and working on PS4 FWs 6.00-9.60 and PS5 FWs 1.00-5.50.

=== FW 3.00-4.51 - WebCore::CSSFontFaceSet vulnerabilities leading to usermode ROP code execution ===

Contrarly to PS4, on PS5 this exploit does not allow arbitrary usermode memory RW because of PS5 memory protections. However thanks to tricks it is possible to get usermode ROP code execution from this exploit.

=== >=8.00 - Syscalls and libkernel blocked from main usermode applications ===

Since PS5 System Software version 8.00, in order to make the PS5 less vulnerable to kernel escalation from usermode after TheFloW's disclose of BD-JB2, Sony blocked syscall and libkernel access from the main contenders such as BD JAVA, WebKit, PS2emu and probably more else all usermode applications.

== Physical memory readable by kernel (Meme Dumper) ==

=== Credits ===

Discovered by cheburek3000. Released on 2023-02-07 by cheburek3000.

=== Bug Description ===

Steps:

1. Find kernel_pmap_store offset in kernel data segment. You can guess its location by specific signature (see guess_kernel_pmap_store_offset code). Luckily kernel_pmap_store has physical and virtual addresses for PML4.

2. Through physical and virtual addresses for PML4, you can find physical memory mapped directly to the kernel memory (DMAP). See PADDR_TO_DMAP macro and vmparam.h from FreeBSD for reference.

3. Use page tables to convert any kernel virtual address to physical address (see vaddr_to_paddr code).

4. Access data by physical address through DMAP.

=== Bug Description ===

The _umtx_op(2) system call provides support for the implementation of synchronization primitives between threads, and is used by the 1:1 Threading Library (libthr, -lthr) to implement IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (POSIX.1-2001) pthread locks, like mutexes, condition variables and so on. In particular, its UMTX_OP_SHM operation provides support for anonymous shared memory associated to a particular physical address, which is used to implement process-shared mutexes (PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED).

Concurrent removals of such a mapping by using the UMTX_SHM_DESTROY sub-request of UMTX_OP_SHM can lead to decreasing the reference count of the object representing the mapping too many times, causing it to be freed too early.

umtx_shm_unref_reg_locked() would unconditionally drop the "registry" reference, tied to USHMF_LINKED.

This is not a problem for caller umtx_shm_object_terminated(), which operates under the 'umtx_shm_lock' lock end-to-end, but it is for indirect caller umtx_shm(), which drops the lock between umtx_shm_find_reg() and the call to umtx_shm_unref_reg(true) that deregisters the umtx shared region (from 'umtx_shm_registry'; umtx_shm_find_reg() only finds registered shared mutexes).

Thus, two concurrent user-space callers of _umtx_op() with UMTX_OP_SHM and flags UMTX_SHM_DESTROY, both progressing past umtx_shm_find_reg() but before umtx_shm_unref_reg(true), would then decrease twice the reference count for the single reference standing for the shared mutex's registration.

A malicious code exercizing the UMTX_SHM_DESTROY sub-request in parallel can panic the kernel or enable further Use-After-Free attacks, potentially including code execution or Capsicum sandbox escape.

== FW <= 4.03 - exFAT driver heap-based buffer overflow ==

See the [https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps4/Vulnerabilities#FW_.3C.3D_9.00_-_exFAT_driver_heap-based_buffer_overflow PS4 wiki].

=== Credits ===

Discovered by TheFloW. Disclosed by ChendoChap.

=== Exploit Implementation ===

Not yet because even though there is ChendoChap's method to execute usermode code in WebKit, there is no PS5 kernel dump to build a kernel ROP chain. Exploiting this kernel vulnerability blind is almost impossible because once the USB device is inserted it corrupts the kernel heap memory and if the offsets in the kernel ROP chain are bad it creates a kernel panic.

=== Bug Description ===

In FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE before n245764-876ffe28796c, 12.2-STABLE before r369857, 13.0-RELEASE before p1, and 12.2-RELEASE before p7, a system call triggering a fault could cause SMAP protections to be disabled for the duration of the system call. This weakness could be combined with other kernel bugs to craft an exploit. It does not work on PS4 because PS4 kernel is based on FreeBSD 9 which did not contain the vulnerability and because PS4 SMAP does not come from FreeBSD but is custom from Sony. It used to work on PS5 before it was disclosed and patched.

=== Patched ===

'''Yes''' in PS5 FW 2.30 or later according to dates.

== Untested: Partial SAMU KeyRings bruteforce by missing HMAC length check in secure kernel ==

See [https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps4/Vulnerabilities#Partial_SAMU_KeyRings_bruteforce_by_missing_HMAC_length_check_in_secure_kernel].

Potentially vulnerable on PS5 FWs <= 4.03.

= Secure Loader =

== Symmetric PS5 root keys dump by software exploit by Fail0verflow ==

See [https://twitter.com/fail0verflow/status/1457526453105569793 Fail0verflow's announcement on Twitter (2021-11-08)]

Fail0verflow either has a bootrom execution exploit or an AMD/ARM PSP hack.

''It is speculated that this exploit is a derivative of the ZenBleed [https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-20593 CVE-2023-20593] exploit, as the PS5 APU is a custom ZEN 2 Ryzen chip.'' 

This allows to decrypt on PC most parts of the PS5 System Software files including:
* PUP
* secure loader (?AMD? ARM Platform Security Processor module) of Oberon
And by derivation, mostly like on PS Vita:
* secure modules
* kernel boot loader / BIOS
* non-secure kernel
* usermode system modules

Potentially unpatched.

= Hypervisor =

== <=4.51 - Hypervisor bypass vulnerability ==

* Discovered by anonymous (probably fail0verflow or TheFloW). Announced by Flatz (2024-10-05).

* Patched since PS5 FW 5.00.

== <=2.50 - Hypervisor vulnerability leading to compromise and XOM bypass ==

* Discovered by Specter (2023-07-01) and Flatz (before 2023-07-27).
* Exploited privately by Specter and ChendoChap (2024-09-29).
* Will be disclosed publicly at Hardwear.io 2024 conference (2024-10-24).

* Patched since PS5 FW 3.00.

== <=2.50 - Hypervisor integrated as part of the kernel binary ==

* Discovered by Specter (2023-07-01) and Flatz (before 2023-07-27).
* Exploited privately by Specter and ChendoChap (2024-09-29).

* This makes Hypervisor exploitation easier as it can be triggered by usermode directly without the need of a kernel exploit.

* See [[Hypervisor#In-Kernel_Hypervisor_.28.3C.3D_2.50.29]] and [https://wololo.net/2023/07/02/ps5-specterdev-shares-details-on-in-kernel-hypervisor-earlier-versions-of-the-ps5-hypervisor-found-in-firmwares/ wololo article (2023-07-02)].

* This also allows to dump kernel .text segment once one has code execution in hypervisor. See [https://x.com/SpecterDev/status/1840303332763512837 Specter's tweet about PS5 kernel .text dump].

* Patched since PS5 FW 3.00.

= Platform Secure Processor =

== <=2.50 - PSP dump via Hypervisor exploit ==

* Discovered by Fail0verflow before 2023-07-27, discovered independently and announced on 2023-07-27 by flatz ([https://twitter.com/flat_z/status/1684554194366107650 Announcement by flatz (2023-07-27)]).

* Thanks to this software exploit, flatz got access to most PS5 decryption keys.

* See also [https://www.psxhax.com/threads/flat_z-confirms-ps5-hypervisor-exploitation-from-ps4-save-game.16063/ flatz's comments].

* Vulnerable on PS5 FWs <= 2.50 and potentially patched since 3.00.

= Southbridge =

== EMC and EFC-EAP vulnerabilities leading to code execution ==

* Will be disclosed by Shawn Hoffman (of SYMBRKRS LLC, @shuffle2 of fail0verflow) at the Security Analyst Summit Conference 2024 on 22-25 October, 2024.

Exploits allowing code execution on EMC and EFC/EAP will be detailed, along with release of a tool which implements the exploits. The process of initial exploration/discovery will also be briefly covered. From a security researcher point of view, the exploits are interesting as they cover a hard-to-spot bug in a firmware state machine, and abusing hardware misconfiguration to bypass memory protection measures. The exploits/tooling allow for further research into the system.

= Unclassified =

== TheFloW's neither usermode nor kernel exploit ==

* On 2024-08-29, TheFloW received 10.000$ from Sony for disclosing privately on Sony's HackerOne bug bounty program a vulnerability.

* According to Flatz, this vulnerability affects neither usermode nor kernel, so it might be either about hardware or more likely about Hypervisor.

* This vulnerability probably got patched in PS5 FW 10.00 or in PS5 FW 9.60, or if it is not patchable by software, is patched in new hardware revisions of the PS5.

= Hardware =

== Untested: ZenBleed (''[https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-20593 CVE-2023-20593]) leak register contents directly from the CPU.'' ==
This is a well documented CPU vulnerability in AMD Processors with the Zen 2 microarchitecture. There is no proof of concept specifically for the PS5, however we do know the PS5 uses a custom Zen 2 chip. This is a hardware bug that uses software to exploit the system. AMD has since patched this with [https://www.amd.com/en/resources/product-security/bulletin/amd-sb-7008.html software], but we are unsure of the status for the latest PS5 firmware (assumed to be patched). For more information see [[PS-Chi]].
