This is very concerning, however the bit you omitted is that these
vulnerabilities were patched late last year.

The most important thing people can do is keep their apps and iOS up
to date. And maybe reconsider using apps that haven't been updated
since October 2023.

It's also worth mentioning that this was a vulnerability explicitly
possible because of the open source model. Had CocoaPods not been
available on github it would have been possible to exploit as easily
or at all.
