How to Fix CVE-2022-39286
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Jupyter core 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 jupyter-core>=4.11.2Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
pip show jupyter-coreHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2022-39286, inspect your installed packages using pip:
pip show jupyter-coreAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Jupyter core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.11.2), your application is affected.
Note: The pip show jupyter-core command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management, where the product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor. In Jupyter core, 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.
