Affected: 1.6

Fixed in: no fixed release known

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 1.6

1. Check installed version

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

2. No fixed release: DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.6 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison tooljet sudo apt install tooljet=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.6> sudo apt-mark hold tooljet

dnf --showduplicates list tooljet sudo dnf downgrade tooljet-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.6> sudo dnf versionlock add tooljet

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.
