⚠️ A sneaky authentication check is the real villain here! The Moog EXO Series units allow privileged actions without proper logins, like a bouncer who forgot their glasses at the door. 🤓 Think of it as a security personnel at a venue who mistakenly lets anyone in without checking IDs — without authentication, anyone can access sensitive controls and even create new admin users. An attacker could waltz right in and perform any operation they want, including creating an Administrator account, which is absolutely devastating for the integrity of your security system. This oversight opens a door for unauthorized access that could compromise the entire physical security setup.
