I'd say that in the cyber security sense, the paper authors should have done a responsible disclosure to the ejmr security team or not. But to publish a "zero-day" is not ethical.
People have been publishing anonymously or pseudonymously since publishing happened. I refuse to believe no one's written about the morals of revealing the real name behind a pamphlet. Nor do I see how that and doxxing differ, in terms of morality.
I think a somewhat-related issue that comes up from time-to-time is whether social media sites should require verification somehow, and it has all the same thorny questions and predictable edge cases one would expect. I can say that for me, I use my real name (or first and last initial) because man is a fallen creature, as the saying goes, and using my real name keeps me honest about the stuff I say online.
That said, I think this falls into the same peril as one of your examples for doxxing, right? I'm fortunate enough to live in a country and have a work environment where I don't really have to worry about either entity coming after me for my lukewarm hot takes, but in a different context I can imagine where I would value that anonymity.

Still reading the first section and Christ.
The people who posted those screenshots should be outed and their employers alerted
