I only just heard about this a few minutes ago, and was wondering if this has already been addressed.
Thanks.
Cooker is fixed, and I’m currently backporting it to ROME and Rock.

No you are not anymore 
I guess it’s more a concern if you allow remote connections on a server for example. Then you should probably be worried, yeah. For a typical user like us who is a single user on his machine in a typical semi-closed / semi-secured network, you are less at risk. With AI-assisted technologies, more will be probably discovered in the future Don’t worry… be happy
