Hackers Uncover Nintendo Switch 2 Vulnerability a Day After Launch, Enabling Custom Code Execution

Sure thing, here goes:

—

Okay, so like, people are already poking around with the new Nintendo Switch 2, right? And guess what? This guy, David Buchanan—yep, that’s the name, and it kinda sounds familiar, doesn’t it?—found some kind of sneaky way into the system. He’s on Bluesky, which, to be honest, I never really got into, but whatever works for him, I guess.

So here’s the weird part: it’s this thing called a userland Return-Oriented Programming exploit. Sounds like science-y gobbledygook to me. Basically, he can mess with how a program runs by shifting its little map of itself. Imagine trying to draw a cat but ending up with, like, a unicorn. It’s like that, but with… I don’t know, computer voodoo? When you stack these moves together, you can make the system do all sorts of funky things. In this case, it made checkerboard graphics appear. Why checkerboards? No clue. Maybe the guy just likes chess or something.

There’s a pic floating around too. One of those standard “proof” images. Yeah, it’s there in all its glory, checkerboards and everything. I don’t know, maybe some other people have looked at it and said, “Yep, that’s a real thing.” But, honestly, could just be his favorite screensaver from 1989.

But let’s not get carried away. It’s not like he’s worming his way into the guts of the Switch 2 or anything. No root access or any scary takeover stuff. Just a little trick on the surface, like a sleight of hand. Buchanan himself even said it’s really more for show. “No practical purpose,” he told us. It’s all just a digital magic trick. It might as well be a YouTube video playing in the background.

Anyway—where was I? Oh, right, Nintendo. They’re notorious for being super protective over their stuff. I mean, they’ve said they might zap your console if you so much as breathe on their sacred codes. Seriously, mess with their software and, boom, no more Mario Kart for you.

And since the Switch 2 is fresh out of the oven, it’s going to take some time before anyone figures out how to break through the locks Nintendo has on it. Talk about a waiting game, right? I bet there’s a whole community out there right now just itching for that magical jailbreak moment when they can slap their own homebrew flavor into it. What will Nintendo do then? Who knows, but it’s probably gonna be dramatic.

Oh! And just a quick word—apparently there’s this “Follow” button on Tom’s Hardware for all the latest news and whatnot. I should probably click on it… if I ever remember.
