Solution:
The vendor recommends using the newly added option to block encoded images: "Enable Block Encoded images". Note: This may impact the functionality of some websites and emails.

Do not rely solely on gateway / perimeter security.

Apply patches to fix vulnerabilities in client software and apply other defence in depth measures.
