WTF is Boeing on? Not just customer databases lying around on the web. 787 jetliner code, too, security bugs and all

A legitimate reason for things to flow the other way?

No. But, you know some thought would be convenient to have status information from the entertainment system to the flight attendants system. And, once they rationalize that...

Still, even boundary defenses can have vulnerabilities. How often do they pen test and patch these things? Are they stymied by a long validation process with the FAA that prevents them from patching vulnerabilities?

And, I'm also very picky about in which direction connections can be initiated. If data should only flow in one direction, the initiation of connections should also be in that direction. That is, data should be pushed, not pulled.
