Whatever firmware is on board when it leaves the launch pad is what it will run until an uplink patch arrives, and an uplink patch is itself a piece of attacker-reachable input arriving over a radio link. If the code that receives that input has a memory bug, the spacecraft can be crashed, bricked, or taken over by whoever finds the bug first.</p>
