How vulnerable am I?

To answer this question you need to first identify the attack surface in your environment.  If your system lives behind an external firewall and your network's perimeter security is hardened against attack then your internal network would be your primary attack surface.  A common practice in many corporate / production networks rely exclusively on perimeter security to insulate their systems from vulnerability.  In all likelihood, if your system is not exposed to the internet then you are probably not currently at risk.
