The problem is we do not know anything about the proprietary firmware. It  
could have been as well programmed to perform malicious tasks. Or, which is  
give or less the same, it could have been written terribly, full of (sec)  
bugs, and therefore exploitable. Trouble is also most firmware gets very  
rarely, if ever, updated.
So you are stuck with buggy, insecure firmware that you (or anyone in your  
place) can not fix.
