Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File in Jupyter notebook

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published Mar 22, 2022 in jupyter-server/jupyter_server • Updated Jan 27, 2023

Package

pip jupyter-server (pip)

Affected versions

< 1.15.4

Patched versions

1.15.4

Description

Impact

What kind of vulnerability is it?

Anytime a 5xx error is triggered, the auth cookie and other header values are recorded in Jupyter Server logs by default. Considering these logs do not require root access, an attacker can monitor these logs, steal sensitive auth/cookie information, and gain access to the Jupyter server.

Patches

Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?

Upgrade to Jupyter Server version 1.15.4

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
