Quite interesting. As usual with these 'secure' processors they have the same flaws all code have.

Still good to hear the PSP is quite lean which means less to fix and less to go wrong.

I mean, this had also happened to Apple with the recent checkm8 exploit that abused a UaF situation in the bootrom by USB communication reset. Not even Apple is secure; nothing is secure. The only secure is design by open, that's why Linux/FreeBSD had marginally less CVEs than Windows or Macs

Apples to oranges. This is about processor security. Free operating systems or proprietary, they run on the same processors.
