How to Fix CVE-2024-35225

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: 3.2.4
pip install jupyter-server-proxy>=3.2.4
jupyter-server-proxy fixed: 4.2.0
pip install jupyter-server-proxy>=4.2.0
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-2024-35225, 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 3.2.4), 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-116: Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output, where the product prepares a structured message for communication with another component, but encoding or escaping of the data is either missing or done incorrectly. as a result, the intended structure of the message is not preserved. 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 There is a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) issue in `jupyter-server-proxy`[1]. The `/proxy` endpoint accepts a `host` path segment in the format `/proxy/<host>`. When this endpoint is called with an invalid `host` value, `jupyter-server-proxy` replies with a response that includes the value of `host`, without sanitization [2]. A third-party actor can leverage this by sending a phishing link with an invalid `host` value containing custom JavaScript to a user. When the user clicks this phishing link, the browser renders the response of `GET /proxy/<host>`, which runs the custom JavaScript contained in `host` set by the actor. As any arbitrary JavaScript can be run after the user clicks on a phishing link, this issue permits extensive access to the user's JupyterLab instance for an actor. This issue exists in the latest release of `jupyter-server-proxy`, currently `v4.1.2`. **Impacted versions:** `>=3.0.0,<=4.1.2` ### Patches The patches are included in `==4.2.0` and `==3.2.4`. ### Workarounds Server operators who are unable to upgrade can disable the `jupyter-server-proxy` extension with: ``` jupyter server extension disable jupyter-server-proxy ``` ### References [1] : https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyter-server-proxy/ [2] : https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyter-server-proxy/blob/62a290f08750f7ae55a0c29ca339c9a39a7b2a7b/jupyter_server_proxy/handlers.py#L328
