An Oculus Quest 2 jailbreak that bypasses its Facebook login has reportedly been discovered.
Non-profit research company the XR (Extended Reality) Safety Initiative said it had confirmed root access on the recently-released Oculus Quest 2, which was first claimed on reddit just over a week ago.
In a post published on ReadyHackerOne.com, XRSI founder Kavya Pearlman said that following a researcher from the XR community bypassing Facebook login on the Oculus Quest 2, its own researchers validated the jailbreak.
XRSI demands the right to repair for XR devices, including virtual reality headsets, under Right to Repair legislation in the US. This is meant to let consumers repair and modify their own consumer electronics devices – despite manufacturer terms of service.
