⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attacker gains complete control of router, can intercept all network traffic, install persistent malware, pivot to other devices, or brick the device.
Likely Case
Local attacker gains router admin access, changes DNS settings, intercepts unencrypted traffic, or disables security features.
