I'm not sure what you mean. The article states there were remote hands on keyboard noticed in multiple companies. That's how the vulnerability was discovered.
I mean IOCs that you can scan for in an environment to see if a machine has been compromised using this vulnerability. Something that tells you if you need to do additional remediation on a machine or just update notepad++ and move on.
Edit: Found some! This is the type of info I was thinking of when I used IOCs
