An attacker would need the ability to direct the system to boot from an HTTP source, which could involve compromising a server or executing a man-in-the-middle attack. Then, to exploit it, the attacker would have to overcome several hurdles, such as gaining physical access to the device or administrative control; it's not out of the realm of possibility, especially if the attacker has already breached the network perimeter. So, how
