If a customer keeps pushing for more and more, eventually the chef gets overwhelmed and messes up the entire meal! If exploited, an attacker could potentially crash the system, causing inconvenience and disrupting your network. While it’s not a wild free-for-all, it could still lead to service interruptions that are absolutely frustrating!
