Users should monitor the vendor's channels for updates or patches. In the meantime, consider implementing network-level restrictions to limit the server's ability to make arbitrary outbound requests, such as firewall rules or proxy filtering. Avoid exposing the vulnerable endpoint to untrusted networks.
