Users should update to version 3.2.5 where the issue was fixed. However, since the vulnerability was reintroduced in later versions, users must verify that they are running a version without this flaw or temporarily disable the extension until a new fix is released. Monitor official PIA communications for updated patches addressing the reintroduced vulnerability.
