⚠️ A rogue base station could send your system tumbling down without even needing a password — it’s like an uninvited guest crashing your party! Imagine a party crasher who just needs to walk through the door to cause chaos in the venue. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trigger a system crash without needing any special permissions or user interaction, similar to a party where the bouncer is asleep at the door. If connected to a malicious base station, your system could experience a denial of service, causing it to become unresponsive. This means your essential services could go offline, leading to disruptions that might affect communication and connectivity.
