- At a glance, it looks like it exploits a bug in WebKit's JavaScriptCore JavaScript engine.
Does the PS5's WebKit use JavaScriptCore with JIT enabled? Have to wonder if Sony will respond by disabled its JIT, to narrow the attack surface.

- Can I use this to make backups of my game saves to USB?
Being somewhat naive to the gaming scene, I only recently discovered that the PS5 prevents you from backing up your game saves to your own physical media - something that was possible on the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4.
Instead, you have to subscribe to PS Plus and enable cloud backups - and you need a separate subscription per user profile.
I only discovered this after my daughter lost a year of work in Minecraft due to data corruption, and I tried to teach her the value of backing up.
The PS5 may be my last console.
