That does not match up with the way this exploit works.

An un-exploited system is booted with a modified version of the Windows Recovery Environment.

Like I said, I think the not-well-described problem here is that (effectively) the lock screen on Windows RE is not secure, so you can have a PCR match in the TPM, but then access the disk as an administrator without typing the admin's user account password. That's not a vulnerability of the TPM itself, and it's not some kind of persistent exploit. It's a flaw in the Windows RE.

I'll also point out it grants access to do only what Microsoft themselves could do at any point. Anyone who has the ability to make a validly-signed copy of Windows could break into a TPM-locked Bitlocker setup exactly this way. People who use Bitlocker without a PIN are implicitly accepting that risk.
