Indico may disclose unauthorized user details access via legacy API
### Impact A legacy API to retrieve user details could be misused to retrieve profile details of other users without having admin permissions due to a broken access check. ### Patches You should to update to [Indico 3.3.8](https://github.com/indico/indico/releases/tag/v3.3.8) as soon as possible. See [the docs](https://docs.getindico.io/en/stable/installation/upgrade/) for instructions on how to update. ### Workarounds It is possible to restrict access to the affected API (e.g. in the webserver config) which is most likely unused anyway and thus will not break anything. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: - Open a thread in [our forum](https://talk.getindico.io/) - Email us privately at [indico-team@cern.ch](mailto:indico-team@cern.ch)
