Even the researcher who reported this doesn't go as far as this headline.

"I am an admin, should I drop everything and fix this?"

Probably not.

The attack requires an active Man-in-the-Middle attacker that can intercept and modify the connection's traffic at the TCP/IP layer. Additionally, we require the negotiation of either ChaCha20-Poly1305, or any CBC cipher in combination with Encrypt-then-MAC as the connection's encryption mode.

As long as the thing you promise to do (or refrain from doing) is something that you would otherwise have the legal right to do, it can be an enforceable contract term.

In this case, the buyer promises to refrain from selling their car in the first year--something they otherwise would have a legal right to do.

A contract for murder, on the other hand, would not be enforceable because there is no legal right to commit murder.
