It is probably impossible for a lay person to understand how a court is likely to interpret statutory language. I prefer my analysis from folks who devote a substantial amount of time to it.

Marcy compares the CISA liability protections to the very similar Section 314(b) of the Patriot Act financial information sharing liability safe harbor.

It seems at least plausible that they will operate in a similar fashion if CISA becomes law.

But that statute has also never been used to shield vendors from lawsuit or prosecution for vulnerabilities!
