We had disabled the web interface on all the cisco 678 routers on our dsl
network, yet when codered hit it crashed those routers because even though
the web interface was disabled it had not stopped holding the port and
codered was crashing the router via that port.

since then, if the feature can't be uninstalled I don't consider it not
exploitable just because some "disable" checkbox is checked.
