JupyterLab: Image viewer allows XSS when opening malicious image in new browser tab
Fix: upgrade to 4.5.10 or later (2 fixed versions below)
JupyterLab's image viewer allows for cross-site scripting (XSS) when a specially-crafted image file is opened through the image viewer and then opened in a new tab. This XSS issue can be used to cause remote code execution (RCE) on the JupyterLab server.
Impact
This vulnerability allows for arbitrary code execution.
Patches
JupyterLab [v4.6.2](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/releases/tag/v4.6.2) and [v4.5.10](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/releases/tag/v4.5.10) contain the patch.
Workarounds
Disable the image viewer plugin:
`
jupyter labextension disable @jupyterlab/imageviewer-extension:plugin
`
Confirm with:
`
jupyter labextension list
`
