⚠️ Airties Smart Wi-Fi could let attackers play around with your network settings like a kid in a candy store! Think of your Wi-Fi network as a coffee shop. If someone can just walk behind the counter and change the coffee names or prices, they could confuse customers and run the place into the ground. In this case, the attacker can alter both your main and guest SSIDs and passwords, leaving your guests in a tangle! Imagine an attacker hijacking your Wi-Fi network, changing it to something like 'Free Pizza Here!' and tricking your friends into connecting. They could then map out your internal network and gain access to devices on the LAN, resulting in potential data breaches or unauthorized surveillance.

In this case, the attacker can alter both your main and guest SSIDs and passwords, leaving your guests in a tangle! This vulnerability arises from Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR), allowing an attacker to access or modify SSIDs and PSK values without proper authorization.
