Real-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.

Description

The Contextual Links module doesn't sufficiently validate the requested contextual links. This vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that an attacker must have a role with the permission "access contextual links".
