From Modern Vintage Gamer:

"From out of nowhere, two separate exploits have appeared for the PlayStation PS5. Lets talk about what they are and what it means for the future of homebrew on the PS5."

IIRC Sony's always had exploit issue with their consoles going back to the PS1 days, so I don't find it entirely unexpected
There's always a balancing act between ease of development and security
What do you think?

i feel like not enough thought goes into the design of the browser on the PS3 PS4 and PS5 consoles. browser RCE exploits i think.

i feel like they bank on the fact that they can put a old outdated browser on there cause not a lot of people know its there, and less would use it.

if im not mistaken, its just a old build of WebKit/epiphany browser, they would be better off just getting chromium to run on the PS5, pretty sure the OS is a BSD distro, it could be less exploitable and offer a lot of features

i ran distrotest.org on my ps4 web browser once
