How to fix?

Upgrade indico to version 3.3.7 or higher.

Overview

indico is a conference lifecycle management and meeting/lecture scheduling tool.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Information Exposure via the user details API endpoint. An attacker can obtain basic information about users, such as name, affiliation, and email, by abusing this endpoint to perform bulk data extraction. This is only exploitable if public user search is enabled and access to the endpoint is not restricted.

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by restricting access to the affected endpoints in the web server configuration, though this may impact certain form fields that display user details.
