Manager Patches Vulnerability Deemed Unpatchable by Senior Engineer

A scan revealed a Kerberoasting vulnerability on certain Windows servers. The author sent the report with mitigation steps to the senior engineer, who immediately dismissed it, claiming that the patch would cause issues with the Active Directory (AD). However, when the report was forwarded to his manager, the manager applied the patch and mitigated the vulnerability in 10 minutes, requesting that future vulnerability reports be sent directly to him.
