Seems like that's a Windows issue and not Xbox. There was a recently released kernel exploit for Xbox, but it's sandboxed to the SystemOS.

If you want to pwn the Xbox OS entirely, you would need a hypervisor escape exploit, which is very difficult to accomplish.

That's gaming services, so I guess it's windows only then, you're right. Like I said, no idea regarding anything about current consoles for me. Haven't played on a console since the 360.

Are you familiar with QubesOS? It has a similar security model to the Xbox consoles.

Basically, the host OS only exists to run VMs, which includes separate VMs for networking, USB devices, applications, etc. With QubesOS, you can also pass through something like a GPU for use in a dedicated gaming VM (although you can do that on any Linux distro).

Plenty familiar with qubes, just not familiar with any current consoles.
