Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) is a powerful tool that helps to automate several cryptanalysis techniques for symmetric key primitives. $\textsf{Gurobi}$ is one of the most popular solvers used by researchers to obtain useful results from the MILP models corresponding to these cryptanalysis techniques. In this report, we provide a cautionary note on the use of $\textsf{Gurobi}$ in the context of bit-based division property integral attacks. In particular, we report four different examples in which $\textsf{Gurobi}$ gives contradictory results when solving the same MILP model by just changing the number of used threads or reordering some constraints.
