    Too bad Oxide's non-BMC[0] service processor or something similar isn't available on all servers.

  • Reasonable environments don't allow BMC access from the normal LAN, and instead have a protected LAN segment for the BMC's NIC, so the risk typically minimal as it requires breaching a secure control network. It's bad to have insecure hardware, but defense-in-depth and proper network design makes compromise from it much more unlikely.
