CVE-2024-43805: Jupyterlab HTML Injection Vulnerability
HIGHCVE-2024-43805 is a HIGH (CVSS 7.6) html injection vulnerability (CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')) affecting Jupyterlab libraries in the PyPI ecosystem. The issue involves html injection in jupyter notebook and jupyterlab leading to dom clobbering. Remediation is available by upgrading affected packages to version 3.6.8, 7.2.2, 4.2.5.
CVE-2024-43805 at a Glance
Security Impact
CVSS: 7.6
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:L).
How to Fix CVE-2024-43805
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Jupyterlab dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
pip install jupyterlab>=3.6.8
pip install notebook>=7.2.2
pip install jupyterlab>=4.2.5
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show jupyterlab
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2024-43805, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show jupyterlab
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Jupyterlab in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.6.8), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show jupyterlab command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting'), where the product does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes user-controllable input before it is placed in output that is used as a web page that is served to other users. In Jupyterlab, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

"details" : "### Impact\n\nThe vulnerability depends on user interaction by opening a malicious notebook with Markdown cells, or Markdown file using JupyterLab preview feature.\n\nA malicious user can access any data that the attacked user has access to as well as perform arbitrary requests acting as the attacked user.\n\n### Patches\n\nJupyterLab v3.6.8, v4.2.5 and Jupyter Notebook v7.2.2 were patched.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nThere is no workaround for the underlying DOM Clobbering susceptibility. However, select plugins can be disabled on deployments which cannot update in a timely fashion to minimise the risk. These are:\n- `@jupyterlab/mathjax-extension:plugin` - users will loose ability to preview mathematical equations \n- `@jupyterlab/markdownviewer-extension:plugin` - users will loose ability to open Markdown previews\n- `@jupyterlab/mathjax2-extension:plugin` (if installed with optional `jupyterlab-mathjax2` package) - an older version of the mathjax plugin for JupyterLab 4.x\n\nTo disable these extensions run:\n\n```bash\njupyter labextension disable @jupyterlab/markdownviewer-extension:plugin\njupyter labextension disable @jupyterlab/mathjax-extension:plugin\njupyter labextension disable @jupyterlab/mathjax2-extension:plugin\n```\n\nTo confirm that the plugins were disabled run:\n\n```bash\njupyter labextension list\n```\n\n### References\n\nNone\n\n### Notes\n\nThis change has a potential to break rendering of some markdown. There is a setting in Sanitizer which allows to revert to the previous sanitizer settings (`allowNamedProperties`).",
