Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

CVE-2021-32797

High
9.6/10

Summary

JupyterLab is a user interface for Project Jupyter which will eventually replace the classic Jupyter Notebook. In affected versions untrusted notebook can execute code on load. In particular JupyterLab doesn't sanitize the action attribute of html `<form>`. Using this it is possible to trigger the form validation outside of the form itself. This is a remote code execution, but requires user action to open a notebook. This vulnerability affects all the versions prior to 1.2.11, 2.x tags prior to 2.2.7, 2.3.x versions prior to 2.3.1, 3.0.x versions prior to 3.0.10 , 3.1.x series prior to 3.1.3 and 3.3.x series prior to 3.3.0-alpha.1.

CWE-79 - Cross Site Scripting

Cross-Site Scripting, commonly referred to as XSS, is the most dominant class of vulnerabilities. It allows an attacker to inject malicious code into a pregnable web application and victimize its users. The exploitation of such a weakness can cause severe issues such as account takeover, and sensitive data exfiltration. Because of the prevalence of XSS vulnerabilities and their high rate of exploitation, it has remained in the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities for years.
