Correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't look like this has anything to do with Syncthing vulnerabilities. Instead it looks like a hack that uses a preconfigured Syncthing installation to transfer sensitive data. Disturbing nonetheless.

Looks like a specially modified SyncThing was just used for exfil.

The article uses the word modified, but it sounds like it's just talking about configuring it and using it as normal.
