Affected: 3.0

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 3.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy duomicms || rpm -q duomicms || duomicms --version

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 3.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison duomicms sudo apt install duomicms=<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0> sudo apt-mark hold duomicms

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list duomicms sudo dnf downgrade duomicms-<VERSION_BEFORE_3.0> sudo dnf versionlock add duomicms

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
