Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable. Check Synacor's advisory for the fixed versions, and if you can't patch quickly, restrict access to the affected Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) and watch it for signs of compromise.
