From the article:

> Lookout’s forensic analysis of two Pinduoduo APK app samples released prior to March 5 ... has determined that both contain malicious code that exploits CVE-2023-20963, the Android privilege-escalation vulnerability that wouldn’t become public until March 6 and wouldn’t be patched in user devices for up to two weeks later.

You're right I think it was a 14-day.

> Google patched in updates that became available to end users two weeks ago.

Though it says it was exploited before Google's disclosure (not sure if disclosure is referring to the timing of the patch, but the linked Google post is from 6th March).

Many Android devices are still not available to be updated. For example, Verizon Pixel 6 users did not receive this patch until yesterday.
