Because that's what this does, it lets the data on a suspect's device potentially cause the software to run arbitrary code with elevated permissions, practically, you could use this to craft a packet of data that, when read by Cellebrite's software, simply shuts off the machine, or kills the Celebrite software, or, worse, connects to the internet and downloads some other payload to do something else. Cause there's no way these machines aren't connected to the internet at some point since the software validates its license that way.
