JupyterLab: Image viewer allows XSS when opening malicious image in new browser tab
Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| PyPI | jupyterlab | >= 4.6.0, < 4.6.2 | 4.6.2 |
| PyPI | jupyterlab | < 4.5.10 | 4.5.10 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
JupyterLab's image viewer allows for cross-site scripting (XSS) when a specially-crafted image file is opened through the image viewer and then opened in a new tab. This XSS issue can be used to cause remote code execution (RCE) on the JupyterLab server.
### Impact
This vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution.
### Patches
JupyterLab [`v4.6.2`](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/releases/tag/v4.6.2) and [`v4.5.10`](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/releases/tag/v4.5.10) contain the patch.
### Workarounds
Disable the image viewer plugin:
```
jupyter labextension disable @jupyterlab/imageviewer-extension:plugin
```
Confirm with:
```
jupyter labextension list
```
