Organizations should promptly identify all PHP deployments, especially externally facing assets, using tools such as Tenable One Attack Surface Management. They must prioritize remediation by updating PHP to fixed versions as soon as they become available. Tenable solutions facilitate this by providing vulnerability detection, patch management workflows, and post-patch validation. Continuous monitoring for new or changed PHP assets is recommended to maintain visibility. Since the advisory stresses updating to fixed versions, patching is the primary recommended mitigation. No mention of alternative mitigations or workarounds is provided.
