If you cannot patch yet, restrict avatar upload permissions to trusted users only or disable SVG avatar uploads if possible. Monitor for suspicious profile avatars and educate users to avoid interacting with untrusted profiles. Avoid recommending generic mitigations not directly related to this vulnerability.
