Summary

Indico versions before 3.3.13 are affected. An incomplete denylist fails to block crafted javascript URLs in fields that accept custom URLs (CWE-692). A user who can manage events or create content, including speakers who upload material, can store such a URL, and a user who follows it runs attacker-controlled script in the Indico origin in their browser.

Description from the CNA

Indico is an event management system that uses Flask-Multipass, a multi-backend authentication system for Flask. Prior to 3.3.13, users who can manage events or create content, including speakers who can upload material, can store crafted javascript URLs in fields that accept custom URLs. A user who follows one of these URLs can execute attacker-controlled script in the user's browser in the Indico origin. This issue is fixed in version 3.3.13.
