I totally agree with you. The fact is that hp won't care much. With this period of holidays , no big expectations to have some new release or someone officially answering. This post is intended to help people having back their printers. It is up to everyone to decide whether or not it worth taking the risk. I decided to accept that risk (I found it myself on the net after many research).

Good luck with hp. I'll push also the new fw once it has been tested.

Many thanks as this solution completely returned my printer to operational status with the previous published firmware of 20201023.  The only problem i had with installation is that after changing printer sharing i found that i needed to reboot both printer and pc before it took, but otherwise everything went smooth.

Thank you. That fixed it.
FYI: As my printer was connected via LAN, I connected it via USB first when the fw was already currupt. Windows couln't recognize the printer and was only showing "Unknown USB Device" (I thought it was because of the corrupt fw).
After changing the USB cable the printer was recognized as "No Printer Attached". Now the fix worked.

Thankfully, you still have this version of the firmware in your Google Drive, which solved my problem in time. The latest released firmware failed to upgrade on my M132FW. I suspect that the latest released firmware itself has a problem and cannot be successfully updated.

Thank you for trying to help us. But once again. We've had to update the firmware due to security issues in HP's firmware.

To install a firmware from anybody's Google Drive, Dropbox or any other source can't be an option at all.

Be aware that installing firmware from unknown sources on your printers may cause serious seciurity issues for your IT infrastructure.
