Yes. CISA added CVE-2022-24112 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 25 Aug 2022, which means there is reliable evidence of exploitation in the wild.
CISA does not list known ransomware use for it. That can change, and exploitation alone is reason to fix it first.
Apply updates per vendor instructions. Check Apache's advisory for the fixed versions, and if you can't patch quickly, restrict access to the affected APISIX and watch it for signs of compromise.
