To mitigate this vulnerability, Sony has released a patch (Update 1401) that fixes the validation mechanism and prevents the downgrade attack. Users are advised to update their PS4's firmware to the latest version to prevent exploitation.

Step 2: Prepare Your PS4

  1. Turn off your PS4 console.
  2. Unplug the power cord and any other cables from the back of the PS4.
  3. Wait for 30 seconds to ensure all internal components are fully powered down.
