Agreed.

The exploit was discovered by a security research firm who did the right thing and reported it to the SW creator, giving them the opportunity to distribute a patch.

Since it hasn't yet been reported as being exploited "in the wild" publishing details on how to perform the exploit would be at best negligent, and worst carelessly malicious.
