I use it. It's a great tool. I'm not overly worried about this. The chance of someone exploiting it are pretty slim - given the market penetration of Windows Mobile devices and all. 
I will keep an eye on this and see if they release a fix.

I use SOTI as well and I'm not too worried about a vulnerability.
Show me a piece of software that doesn't have a security hole somewhere and I'll show you vaporware... 8O
