How to Fix CVE-2022-21697

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Jupyter server proxy dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

jupyter-server-proxy fixed: 3.2.1
pip install jupyter-server-proxy>=3.2.1
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:

pip show jupyter-server-proxy

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2022-21697, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show jupyter-server-proxy

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Jupyter server proxy in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 3.2.1), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show jupyter-server-proxy command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-918: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), where the web server receives a url or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this url, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination. In Jupyter server proxy, 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.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact **What kind of vulnerability is it?** Server-Side Request Forgery ( SSRF ) **Who is impacted?** Any user deploying Jupyter Server or Notebook with jupyter-proxy-server extension enabled. A lack of input validation allowed authenticated clients to proxy requests to other hosts, bypassing the `allowed_hosts` check. Because authentication is required, which already grants permissions to make the same requests via kernel or terminal execution, this is considered low to moderate severity. ### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ Upgrade to 3.2.1, or apply the patch https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyter-server-proxy/compare/v3.2.0...v3.2.1.patch ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open a topic [on our forum](https://discourse.jupyter.org) * Email the Jupyter security team at [security@ipython.org](mailto:security@ipython.org)
