The vulnerability seems to be that it can read content filled into a page, and since lastpass will autofill your password (usually, if enabled) it’s easy to read.

iCloud Keychain requires user intervention by default (using your fingerprint) so it can’t be autofilled in the background.

Still, many people would be vulnerable because 3rd party password managers are so popular.
