Since the vulnerability affects versions before 1.5.3, upgrading to version 1.5.3 or later (if available) is recommended once confirmed. If you cannot patch yet, restrict access to the affected admin pages and avoid clicking on suspicious links that could trigger reflected XSS. Monitor vendor channels for official fixes or temporary mitigations.
