CVE-2024-41942 – JupyterHub has a privilege escalation vulnerability with the `admin:users` scope
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-41942
JupyterHub is software that allows one to create a multi-user server for Jupyter notebooks. Prior to versions 4.1.6 and 5.1.0, if a user is granted the `admin:users` scope, they may escalate their own privileges by making themselves a full admin user. The impact is relatively small in that `admin:users` is already an extremely privileged scope only granted to trusted users. In effect, `admin:users` is equivalent to `admin=True`, which is not intended. Note that the change here only prevents escalation to the built-in JupyterHub admin role that has unrestricted permissions. It does not prevent users with e.g. • https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/commit/99e2720b0fc626cbeeca3c6337f917fdacfaa428 https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/commit/ff2db557a85b6980f90c3158634bf924063ab8ba https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/security/advisories/GHSA-9x4q-3gxw-849f • CWE-274: Improper Handling of Insufficient Privileges •
CVE-2024-28233 – XSS in JupyterHub via Self-XSS leveraged by Cookie Tossing
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-28233
JupyterHub is an open source multi-user server for Jupyter notebooks. By tricking a user into visiting a malicious subdomain, the attacker can achieve an XSS directly affecting the former's session. More precisely, in the context of JupyterHub, this XSS could achieve full access to JupyterHub API and user's single-user server. The affected configurations are single-origin JupyterHub deployments and JupyterHub deployments with user-controlled applications running on subdomains or peer subdomains of either the Hub or a single-user server. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.1.0. • https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/commit/e2798a088f5ad45340fe79cdf1386198e664f77f https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub/security/advisories/GHSA-7r3h-4ph8-w38g • CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) CWE-565: Reliance on Cookies without Validation and Integrity Checking •
