Solution

[Use the latest installer]
Use the latest installer according to the information provided by the developer.
Users who already have installed FENCE-Explorer do not need to re-install the application, because this issue affects the installer only.

Also note that a user who uses FENCE-Explorer with Portable Application is not affected by this vulnerability because in that case a user can specify a directory to place files before executing FENCE-Explorer. However, the executable file itself contains a DLL preloading vulnerability, therefore a user should be careful not to place a suspicious file sent by the third party in the directory.
