Vulnerability in jupyterlab (CVE-2026-73416)

Summary

Vulnerability in jupyterlab (CVE-2026-73416). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via blocked_extensions_uris. Mitigation: upgrade to 4.5.10 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

JupyterLab's PyPI extension manager enforces blocked_extensions_uris by comparing the requested install name to blocklist entries with a custom string normalization that is weaker than PyPI package-name canonicalization. An authenticated user can request a PyPI-equivalent spelling such as JupyterLab.Git for a blocklisted package such as jupyterlab-git; JupyterLab accepts the install request even though pip resolves the variant to the same package.

This has security implications only for deployments that combine all of the following:

  • an allowlist/blocklist configured with the intent of restricting which packages users can install;
  • the (default) PyPI Extension Manager enabled; and
  • kernels and terminals disabled or delegated to remote hosts (otherwise a user with kernel access can install packages directly regardless of this check)

Impact

The vulnerability lets an authenticated user install a package the operator specifically intended to block, defeating the allowlist/blocklist control. Because extensions in principle allow for arbitrary code execution, this vulnerability enables untrusted users to impact the integrity and availability of the jupyter-server instance that was provisioned to them. The user already has access to their own single-user server's data, so installing an extension grants no new read access.

In particular, the integrity of data can be impacted, and any hardening or restrictions on permitted user actions (download/upload limits) within…

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'jupyterlab' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で jupyterlab を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade jupyterlab to 4.5.10

    ステージング環境で 4.5.10 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスを含めること。

  3. 3
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Confirm patched version is live in production

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番ではアクセスログ・WAF でアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
