The Ethereum 2.0 team will release a fix for the attack before the merger

Stanford University researchers shared three scenarios on how to attack the proof-of-stake (PoS) design of Eth 2.0. In this regard, Danny Ryan, the core developer of the Ethereum Foundation, is convinced that The Merge will not be delayed. Ryan said that the attack design proposed by Stanford University researchers is "serious" and poses a threat to the stability of the ETH2 Beacon Chain. At the same time, all three attacks can be mitigated by simple fixes. Ethereum Foundation developers will implement this fix before the decisive phase of the ETH1-ETH2 transition begins. The deployment of this fix will not delay the merger and will not cause the Ethereum chain to reorganize ("hard fork").
