## Workarounds and Mitigations
If not ready to upgrade to IBM MQ 9.3, the best mitigation is to uninstall the MQ Console component.
If requiring the MQ Console capability the New Web Console (which is the default web console for IBM MQ 9.2) is not vulnerable. For instructions on switching from Dashboard Web Console to New Web Console see .
Alternatively, the IBM MQ 9.3 Console can be used with IBM MQ 9.0, IBM MQ 9.1 or IBM MQ 9.2 queue managers – either installed alongside the existing installation, or using a remote connection on a separate host (REST Messaging API for remote connections requires at least IBM MQ 9.3.3 CD).
