release

25 Sep 2026

This release brings Frida to the PlayStation 5, expands Barebone’s reach across virtual machines and kernels, and fixes a range of injection and instrumentation issues.

prospero: Add a PS5 backend and ship builds of frida-server, portal, inject, Gadget, and the devkits. The backend can enumerate apps, spawn programs and apps, and inject agents within the console’s restrictions.
barebone: Add support for the Android emulator. Kernel symbol discovery now handles more Linux images and older kernels, while new hostlink options include pipe-over-vsock and serial connections.
barebone: Extend WinNT support to arm64, including process injection, and add support for VirtualBox and Parallels guests. Numerous fixes improve agent reliability across Windows and Linux kernels.
device: Add connection-progress events, so applications can show what Frida is doing while a device connects or a Barebone agent is uploaded. The new signals are also available in the bindings.
fruity: Fix RSD port discovery on macOS 27 and refresh the service snapshot when a newly published service is not found. A new force_transport=usbmux channel option lets callers choose usbmux even when a tunnel is available. Thanks to @mrmacete for the option.
darwin: Fix an iOS 27 injection leak that could retain a 40 MB agent blob after each attach. Also improve memory protection handling and preserve suspension across policy softening. Thanks to @jiska for these fixes.
gum: Improve arm64 relocation and Interceptor handling of function prologues, including cases where X16 and X17 are both in use. Grafting now uses Arm64Relocator, allowing PC-relative instructions to be relocated. Thanks to @jiska and @daniillnull for their work here.
interceptor: Track the C stack associated with each frame, improving handling of stackful coroutines. Thanks to @wertyutreethgfd for the contribution.
linux: Reclaim temporary stack and TLS mappings after kernel-assisted injection, and release the loader region when an agent unloads. Validate auxiliary-vector program headers before reading them, fixing a problem exposed by Wine’s preloader. Thanks to @tntljc for the latter fix.
socket: Handle a peer disconnecting between the WebSocket handshake and connection acceptance instead of aborting the process. Thanks to @it4ch1-007 for the fix.
darwin: Use jailbreak-provided memory hooks when available. Thanks to @devnoname120 for the contribution.
gdb: Improve thread selection, timeouts, stop handling, and compatibility with stubs that do not support binary writes.

There are also fixes for Windows unwinding through Interceptor trampolines, Swift event delivery and variant lifetimes, generated bindings, and a variety of platform-specific build issues.
