Switch 2 security takes a hit as hackers unlock homebrew access
Summary
A security researcher demonstrates a software-only partial jailbreak of the Switch 2, gaining userland access to run homebrew and mod games via a SmileBasic 4 interpreter vulnerability. The exploit relies on a 32-bit integer overflow in SmileBasic and a subsequent filesystem buffer overflow to escalate privileges, with SmileBasic delisted from the eShop and imminent firmware patches likely to limit further access.
