Indico Affected by Cross-Site-Scripting via material uploads

Moderate severity GitHub Reviewed Published Feb 17, 2026 in indico/indico • Updated Feb 19, 2026

Package

pip indico (pip)

Affected versions

< 3.3.10

Patched versions

3.3.10

Description

Impact

There is a Cross-Site-Scripting vulnerability when uploading certain file types as materials.

Patches

You should to update to Indico 3.3.10 as soon as possible.
See the docs for instructions on how to update.

Please be aware that to apply the fix itself updating is sufficient, but to benefit from the strict Content-Security-Policy we now apply by default for file downloads, you need to update your webserver config in case you use nginx with Indico's STATIC_FILE_METHOD set to xaccelredirect and add the following line to the .xsf/indico/ location block (you can consult the Indico setup documentation for the full configuration snippet):

add_header Content-Security-Policy $upstream_http_content_security_policy;

Workarounds

  • Use your webserver config to apply a strict CSP for material download endpoints.
  • Only let trustworthy users create content (including material uploads, which speakers can typically do as well) on Indico.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
