Glad I'm not part of the networking team at my job right now.

It's not that big of a problem. The only reason you run that particular server is if your switches aren't able to call home to Cisco for license reasons.

Plus that software doesn't manage the switches so it's not like it gets and actor any lateral movement.

Now if DNA centre had the same bug than Cisco people would crap themselves.
