Reading the link provided it mentions "local privilege" and "access to the
command line". I would infer that Management Central code that was still
present, even if the server itself wasn't able to start, was vulnerable.

The APAR lists two PTF's. One is to patch MGTC. One is to remove MGTC.

Security Bulletin: IBM i is vulnerable to a local privilege escalation due
to flaws in Management Central (CVE-2023-40685, CVE-2023-40686).
