Indeed, and anyone who has an interest in this outcome should contribute to 
the fund-raising efforts that make that happen (https://github.com/geoserver/
geoserver/wiki/Sponsor)

Please understand that this is not very useful (in some ways its just 
alarmist) without some analysis. In particular, determining whether geoserver 
is susceptible to the kind of attacks that are listed, and under what 
circumstances, is important. 

If you do have a security issue to report on the basis of the analysis, please 
follow the responsible disclosure policy at https://github.com/geoserver/
geoserver/blob/main/SECURITY.md#reporting-a-vulnerability and if the issue is 
important to you, please consider a commercial support option (see http://
geoserver.org/support/ for a list, none of which I am associated with) if you 
are unable to provide the fix yourself.

Public plans for larger upgrades are on the wiki (see https://github.com/
geoserver/geoserver/wiki/Proposals).
