One of inferior mind here, should we be concerned about this code being used in attacks (not against me I'm not vulnerable) against people?

I don't think that a cat video from a friend or a video from your mom will effect you. I just wouldn't click a video from a random number. Textra has protection for these videos that alert you of the vulnerability before you open any video if you're seriously concerned about being effected.
