• v3.2.1 Changes

  🚀 Released on November 10, 2022

  🔒 Security fixes ^{^}

  • ⚡️ Update cryptography <https://pypi.org/project/cryptography/>_ library due to vulnerabilities in OpenSSL (CVE-2022-3602, CVE-2022-3786)

  .. note::

  We do not think that Indico is affected by those vulnerabilities as it does
  not use the *cryptography* library itself, and the dependency that uses it
  is only used during SSO (OAuth) logins and most likely in a way that is not
  vulnerable. It is nonetheless recommended to update as soon as possible.
