I can't even imagine what happened here. I do quite a bit of coding on front panels like this for my job engineering industrial controls. Even without the need for security, I wouldn't allow a front panel to make decisions. It has only two jobs, to accurately display what it is asked to and to report in a timely manor what keys have been pressed. Doing more than that is not only unnecessary, but it reduces the ability to easily re-use it as a drop in module in other products, and it makes the architecture of the system more confusing. Clearly somebody had other ideas here, but I can't see why.
