My favorite supermicro facepalm will always be when you could set the IPMI encryption cipher to "none" (ipmitool -C0) and bypass actually needing any password at all. (Though I don't think this was unique to supermicro actually?)

With some server vendors, if you don't connect an ethernet cable to the BMC, it can intercept BMC-targeted traffic from the OS-connected ethernet port.

Pretty much all of them allow unrestricted access from KMS from factory, tough all of them have a way to disable it once configured, and HPE even throws shade until it's limited. KMS only works from the host itself.
