CVE-2024-50633 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
This was deemed not a vulnerability.
Overview
indico is a conference lifecycle management and meeting/lecture scheduling tool.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key via the /api/principals endpoint, which allows users to expose other users' data via POST request containing arbitrary user ID values.
Update: The project maintainers, once made aware of the issue, clarified that it is the expected behavior of the endpoint to return responses for arbitrary user IDs, doesn't disclose sensitive information, and is therefore not a vulnerability.
