Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Affected | Fixed in |
|---|---|---|---|
| PyPI | jupyter-remote-desktop-proxy | >= 3.0.0, < 3.0.1 | 3.0.1 |
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
## Summary
`jupyter-remote-desktop-proxy` was meant to rely on UNIX sockets readable only by the current user since version 3.0.0, but when used with TigerVNC, the VNC server started by `jupyter-remote-desktop-proxy` were still accessible via the network.
This vulnerability does not affect users having TurboVNC as the `vncserver` executable.
