It can offer a DHCP server and via DHCP offer a DNS server, but the host likely has a wired or Wifi network connection that also offers DNS. How it chooses between the two connections is unspecified. The bigger risk IMO is that the device can claim a shorter direct route to the public internet, as the real connection is likely through a router. That means the device can offer a direct route to 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 | |
