The article does not state at any point that the written test cases involved actual exploit code, and this is also very unlikely given what we know about Fable. Even if they did, it would not in any way be exposing the ability that originally raised concern wrt. Mythos Preview, viz. staging realistic cyber attacks that would be able to work around non-trivial defenses and chain vulnerabilities in a goal-directed way.
Opus can very much "fix the code". Quite possibly even Sonnet can. This is a big fat nothingburger and it's increasingly looking like the political restriction of Fable at least (not Mythos itself, of course) was arbitrary and based on the flimsiest pretext.
The first part of implementing an exploit is finding a vulnerability, and "fix the vulnerabilities" accomplishes that just as well as "find the vulnerabilities".
should we also restrict a model if it can clone a repo, set up the tooling and build a project?
Two words: market manipulation
No, market manipulation is influencing public perceptions of something the regime has little total control over - eg why Iran gets bombed late in the week, and then by Monday there is often a "peace agreement" in the wings. This is direct subjugation ahead of Anthropic's IPO - both for the customary bribes, and also to assert "you will obey all of our dictats about how we want to your use your models, and you will not speak up against the regime". The US is really no longer a safe place for business.
How is arbitrarily restricting access to a flagship product ahead of an IPO not market manipulation?
