However, it is difficult to open your favorite page from Nintendo Switch's browser through this vulnerability. Also, it does not seem to worry that important personal information like the iOS device will be pulled out. Qwertyoruiop who released the information said, "I will just say for sure but I did not Jailbreak the Switch, but I just demonstrated a proof of concept that you can execute the exec command on a browser." .
Just to be clear: I did not jailbreak the Switch. I simply demonstrated a proof of concept exploit that gives me code exec in the browser.
