k.  Are there people who could be proactively reached out to, or
is it more of a "pray and hope for the best" thing? :)

Cool.  Is there an ETA for that?

Asking because until then, every Windows installer generated by
CMake with CPACK_NSIS_ENABLE_UNINSTALL_BEFORE_INSTALL enabled will
be bundling a local privilege escalation to Admin.

While that's not "the sky is falling" stuff... ;) it seems like
something better fixed sooner rather than later.

Cyril's question about a CVE is valid too.  This should probably
be written up. :)

Do you guys want to do that, or should Cyril begin the process?

Regards and best wishes,
