Nintendo Switch 2 Jailbreak Exploit Patched in Firmware Update 23.5.0, Blocking Game Dumping and Modding
TwistedVoxel • • technology
Key Points:
- Nintendo has released firmware update 23.5.0 for the Switch 2, patching the operating system exploit used in the recent jailbreak and blocking modders from accessing system files and dumping game data.
- The update prevents existing exploits from escaping individual games like SmileBASIC and Civilization VI, restricting homebrew applications to limited in-game functionality without system-level access.
- While some cartridge-based exceptions may still allow limited exploits, the overall ability to mod or dump games through software vulnerabilities has been significantly curtailed by the new firmware.
- This update follows earlier progress in the Switch 2 modding scene, including the ns2jb tethered exploit on firmware 23.0.1, which previously allowed low-level filesystem access.
