Hypervisor Bug

1 GoKawiil brief on this topic

Hacker Jordy gets $50,000 Sony bounty for PS5 Linux hypervisor bug

A hacker using the handle Jordy on X found a hypervisor flaw that enabled running Linux on PlayStation 5 consoles using an AI LLM, reported it to Sony, and received a $50,000 bug bounty. Jordy had reportedly agreed to hold off reporting until after GTA VI's release, but submitted the report early after someone else discovered the same bug. Sony subsequently released firmware 14.20 on October 21, 2026, closing the exploit used by the ps5-linux-loader project.
