Quite scary and quite possible. Typical access control lists prevent access to the voice VLAN, but I'm not sure how multi-cast ACLs work. In essence, someone has likely sent a multi-cast join request to the phone, then started streaming audio to that multi-cast group. If you have Informacast, then your system is enabled for that to happen. In our situation, no line keys would light up, only the speaker button and the mute button.
