If you can inject commands into a communication line, somebody was really stupid while designing it.
Well those fiber optic line end points are not exactly encrypted, they use off the shelf components like HDMI over Fiber adapters, and serial over fiber for control link. In rare cases they could maybe use a actual IP connection over fiber but i doubt that since, it would add overhead, latency and make the hardware setup a lot more complex and expensive (if would be able to encrypt tho).
