All users are affected and must update immediately. ### Patches Upgrading `bitlyshortener` to 0.6.0 or newer will prevent the generation such invalid short URLs. ### Workarounds A workaround is to replace "https://j.mp/" in each generated short URL with "https://bit.ly/". ### References * [Release notes](https://github.com/impredicative/bitlyshortener/releases)
