Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement strict allowlist-based file type validation on the server side, store uploaded files outside the web root, disable script execution in upload directories, and rename uploaded files. If a patched version is available, upgrade immediately.
