LTI JupyterHub Authenticator: Unbounded Memory Growth via Nonce Storage (Denial of Service)
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| PyPI | jupyterhub-ltiauthenticator | < 1.6.3 | 1.6.3 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
The LTI 1.1 validator stores OAuth nonces in a class-level dictionary that grows without bounds. Nonces are added before signature validation, so an attacker with knowledge of a valid consumer key can send repeated requests with unique nonces to gradually exhaust server memory, causing a denial of service.
## Patches
- upgrade jupyterhub-litauthenticator to 1.6.3
