According to Wiikileaks Avast is one of the products with weaknesses that CIA use for intrusion.
I would like to know what Acast is going to do about it and when.

They don't say which versions.
Vlk (CTO) has explained it:

The CIA, FBI, MI5, MI6, GCHQ and ASIS can break into virtually anything they want to. Whether you like it or not. Al anyone can do is set-up layers of protection/security.
Privacy does not exist on the internet.
