Yes, this is my understanding too. There are no further details of this attack so we will have to wait.

I don’t see how a malicious node opening a channel with me could drain another channel I have with a third node.

Wouldn’t the third node have to route liquidity toward my side of that channel first, and then my node would have to move that liquidity into the attacker’s channel? Simply having a channel with my node shouldn’t give the attacker control over the liquidity in my other channels.

sigh... Take your CLN node offline.
