I'm guessing not a state actor. They already have enough other backdoors that Microsoft already put in for them, and plaintext is just too obvious even for them.
My bet is that this is just one more example in the already giant collection demonstrating Microsoft's utter incompetence around good engineering, robust security, and properly testing products before releasing them.
