## Overview

### Impact
A legacy API to retrieve user details could be misused to retrieve profile details of other users without having admin permissions due to a broken access check.

### 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
It is possible to restrict access to the affected API (e.g. in the webserver config) which is most likely unused anyway and thus will not break anything.
