Have they ever announced a CVE like this before? This seems really convenient. I don’t really like conspiracy theorizing but with everything going in, it doesn’t seem far fetched to think this is sabotage.
Given Matt isn't doing it, I'm of the opinion that he is using it maliciously.
Not sure, I'm not a lawyer.
Couple that with Matt's clearly hinting post earlier today[0] and it really feels... calculated. Just another thing for them to throw on the lawsuit I guess.

There is no way this wasn't done in bad faith. I'd have to wonder if it's also crossed the line legally as well, due to being done in bad faith.
