Switch 2 update reportedly shuts its first jailbreak.

Dataminer OatmealDome says firmware 23.5.0 patches the operating-system exploit behind the first Switch 2 jailbreak. That closes the route it used for system-wide game dumping and modding, but not every exploit inside a game. Vulnerabilities in titles such as SmileBASIC 4 and Civilization VII still work, OatmealDome says; they just can’t break out into the rest of the system. That leaves homebrew limited to what it can already do. He says some near-future cartridge games, and perhaps game updates, could be exceptions, but that’s only a possibility. Nintendo’s update notes don’t mention the jailbreak.
