Indico vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting via LaTeX math code
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### Impact
There is a Cross-Site-Scripting vulnerability when rendering LaTeX math code in contribution or abstract descriptions.
### 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
Only let trustworthy users create content on Indico.
Note that a conference doing a Call for Abstracts actively invites external speakers (who the organizers may not know and thus cannot fully trust) to submit content, hence the need to update to a a fixed version ASAP in particular when using such workflows.
