Mitigation Strategies

The primary and recommended mitigation step is to upgrade Tiki CMS to version 27.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.

Since Tiki 26.x has reached end-of-life and no longer receives security fixes, continuing to use it poses a security risk.

Additional steps include restricting access to the vulnerable page, applying any available security patches, and monitoring for suspicious activity related to XSS attacks until the upgrade can be performed.
