Description

jupyterlab is an extensible environment for interactive and reproducible computing, based on the Jupyter Notebook Architecture. Prior to 4.5.10 and 4.6.2, in packages/imageviewer/src/widget.ts, JupyterLab's ImageViewer uses URL.createObjectURL for a specially crafted SVG image and revokes the blob URL too early, allowing the image to retain an executable same-origin context when it is opened through the image viewer and then opened in a new browser tab. The resulting cross-site scripting can be used to execute arbitrary code on the JupyterLab server. This issue is fixed in versions 4.5.10 and 4.6.2.

Affected products

• jupyterlab: before 4.5.10; from 4.6.0, < 4.6.2
