People in the past have used the entertainment bus to get into the flight telemetry data, hopefully only in a read-only state, but that will only be true if you trust the competence of the IT group that set up the programming for the switches.

Just be careful of where you try to write data and you should be fine! (and stay away from /dev/wing0 and /dev/wing1 on the network mount!)

Ugh, why the hell aren't those air-gapped?

Same thing in cars. Why is the infotainment system that is connected to the internet not air-gapped from the critical car functions?

These things aren't hard to do. I guess we just need people to die before we take such basic safety measures.
