It's a possibility that it has been used. I'm not sure if a government would buy an exploit and not use it before it's patched, unless they couldn't find any use for it. This exploit is different than the one the FBI used on the child porn site though. They'd need to combine it with something that can bypass the Tor Browser's socks5 setting. It would be a much bigger deal if they had an exploit that could do that.
