What it is

⚠️ A password change with zero verification makes securing your Anviz access control devices a breeze for attackers! Think of it like a restaurant where anyone can walk in and change the chef's special dish without anyone checking their ID — chaos in the kitchen! 🍽️ An attacker could waltz in and change the administrator password, locking out legitimate users and gaining full control over the system. This means they could manipulate access settings, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive areas. It's a recipe for disaster!
