This vulnerability opens the door to guests accessing rooms they shouldn’t be allowed in! In the wrong hands, this could lead to devastating consequences: attackers could execute arbitrary commands, potentially gaining control over the device and accessing sensitive network information. The impact is severe, as it gives attackers the keys to the castle!
