Maybe you're right and I'm too cynical, but I see this more like a PR piece to attract talent to their organization.

I think the NSA has a real image problem. They released ghidra. They admitted it was a recruitment tool. They now release this warning which basically tells us to update our software. Anyways, if they really want to improve their image, they need to release zero day exploits and prove it's not just an offensive but also a defensive agency.

The release of an exploitable bug might deny them a couple of targets but will protect millions.
