Affected: >= 1.0.0 and <= 1.3.1

Fixed in: newer than 1.3.1

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 1.0.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison clicky-analytics-dashboard sudo apt install clicky-analytics-dashboard=<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0.0> sudo apt-mark hold clicky-analytics-dashboard

dnf --showduplicates list clicky-analytics-dashboard sudo dnf downgrade clicky-analytics-dashboard-<VERSION_BEFORE_1.0.0> sudo dnf versionlock add clicky-analytics-dashboard

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.
