Supermicro IPMI comes to mind. If it was compromised we would have known by now.

Not only is Supermicro headquartered in USA, but it's operations are in Taiwan, which they would very much like you to acknowledge is not the same as mainland China.

There's a lot of vulnerabilities, of course. Supermicro isn't great at releasing updates for old boards either.

Many vendor IPMI is so fiendishly hard to isolate from untrusted networks (or even networks in general) that it almost has to be an intentional backdoor.
