⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete device compromise allowing attacker to install persistent backdoors, pivot to internal networks, intercept traffic, or use device as botnet node.
Likely Case
Attacker gains shell access to execute commands, potentially modifying configurations, stealing credentials, or disrupting network services.
If Mitigated
With proper network segmentation and access controls, impact limited to isolated network segment containing vulnerable APs.
🎯 Exploit Status
Command injection vulnerabilities typically have low exploitation complexity once the injection point is identified.
