SCA: security update for indico (GHSA-rrqf-w74j-24ff)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 418908

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Indico is an event management system that uses Flask-Multipass, a multi-backend authentication system for
 Flask. In Indico prior to version 3.3.4, corresponding to Flask-Multipass prior to version 0.5.5, there is
 a Cross-Site-Scripting vulnerability during account creation when redirecting to the `next` URL.
 Exploitation requires initiating the account creation process with a maliciously crafted link, and then
 finalizing the signup process. Because of this, it can only target newly created (and thus unprivileged)
 Indico users. Indico 3.3.4 upgrades the dependency on Flask-Multipass to version 0.5.5, which fixes the
 issue. Those who build the Indico package themselves and cannot upgrade can update the `flask-multipass`
 dependency to `>=0.5.5` which fixes the vulnerability. Otherwise one could configure one's web server to
 disallow requests containing a query string with a `next` parameter that starts with `javascript:`.
