This is not really a mistake from the ransomware authors, as they properly use the Windows Crypto API. Indeed, for what I've tested, under Windows 10, CryptReleaseContext does cleanup the memory (and so this recovery technique won't work). It can work under Windows XP because, in this version, CryptReleaseContext does not do the cleanup. Moreover, MSDN states this, for this function : "After this function is called, the released CSP handle is no longer valid. This function does not destroy key containers or key pairs.". So, it seems that there are no clean and cross-platform ways under Windows to clean this memory.
If you are lucky (that is the associated memory hasn't been reallocated and erased), these prime numbers might still be in memory.
That's what this software tries to achieve.
