Hi,

Recently I got infected with SMW-INJ-25022-js.spam.redi-1.
My understanding is that this is due to a flaw in tagDiv Composer. Currently I’m running Newspaper 11.4.
Is this flaw fixed in the recent Newspaper update, 12.6.1?
If this is fixed alreay, could you please let me know the best way to upgrade from Newspaper 11.4 to 12.6.1?
I have tried before to upgrade fron Newspaper 11.4 to 12.3 and got serious issues so I had to revert the change.

Regards,
Andreea
