How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 sympa to version 6.2.66~dfsg-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream sympa package and not the sympa package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

Sympa before 6.2.62 relies on a cookie parameter for certain security objectives, but does not ensure that this parameter exists and has an unpredictable value. Specifically, the cookie parameter is both a salt for stored passwords and an XSS protection mechanism.
