SCA: security update for indico (GHSA-rm2q-f7jv-3cfp)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439125

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 versions prior to 3.3.12, due to vulnerabilities in TeXLive and obscure LaTeX syntax that
 allowed circumventing Indico's LaTeX sanitizer, it is possible to use specially-crafted LaTeX snippets
 which can read local files or execute code with the privileges of the user running Indico on the server.
 Note that if server-side LaTeX rendering is not in use (ie `XELATEX_PATH` was not set in `indico.conf`),
 this vulnerability does not apply. It is recommended to update to Indico 3.3.12 as soon as possible. It is
 also strongly recommended to enable the containerized LaTeX renderer (using `podman`), which isolates it
 from the rest of the system. As a workaround, remove the `XELATEX_PATH` setting from `indico.conf` (or
 comment it out or set it to `None`) and restart the `indico-uwsgi` and `indico-celery` services to disable
 LaTeX functionality. (CVE-2026-33046)

Solution

Update the indico library and its related packages to version 3.3.12 or later.
