From what I can tell, our squid implementation was installed using an MSI package from Diladele.  It is my understanding per the advisories, the first point of contact for support is the maintainer/package vendor.  Diladele referred me back to Squid Developers and the only version that they have made available is version 3.5.27.  As I am not too familiar with source code packaging or compiling, I am in search for some guidance on available options to mitigate or remediate these vulnerabilities.  I believe 2 of them have workarounds that can be implemented by modifying the squid.conf.

Supposing the software is at risk, the advisories indicate there are patches available for each issue, however, I'm not clear on what to do with the information that the patch link presents.

The command line "squid -v" will list the build options used for your
particular binary along with its particular version. The advisory
section titled "Determining if your version is vulnerable:" is a
checklist to compare against your Squid. One statement there should
match your particular Squid installation.

The fixes for all these are in our 3.5.28 bundle from 10 days ago. I
have not made the official announcements yet (thanks for the reminder)
so Diladele may have not been aware.

I've cc'd Rafael on this reply and also opened an issue in the tracker
specifically notifying of the release so they can start on that while I
do the write-up. <https://github.com/diladele/squid-windows/issues/81>
