Hijacking the PS5's RTMP Stream

A researcher has discovered a vulnerability in the PS5's RTMP stream that can be exploited to hijack the stream and take control of the console. The vulnerability was discovered by a user on a PlayStation forum who found that their PS5's RTMP stream was being accessed by another user without their permission. The researcher has not released the exploit publicly, but has instead shared it with Sony. The exploit works by taking advantage of a bug in the PS5's RTMP server, which allows an attacker to intercept and manipulate the stream. This can be used to take control of the console's camera and microphone, as well as access the console's file system. The researcher has warned Sony about the vulnerability and is working with the company to fix the issue. The PS5's RTMP stream is used for features such as screen sharing and remote play, but it also leaves the console vulnerable to attack. The researcher has not released any further information about the exploit, citing the potential for it to be used maliciously.
