      <title>GHSA-37w4-hwhx-4rc4 — JupyterLab has an Extension Manager API/GUI Policy Discrepancy, allowing 3rd party (malicious) extensions install via P…</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/ghsa-37w4-hwhx-4rc4</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; PyPI: jupyterlab&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The allow-list of extensions that can be installed from PyPI Extension Manager (`allowed_extensions_uris`) is not correctly enforced by JupyterLab prior to 4.5.7. The PyPI Extension Manager was not contained to packages listed on the default PyPI index.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This has security implications for deployments that:
- have allow-listed specific extensions with aim to prevent users from installing packages
- have the kernel and terminals disabled or delegated to remote hosts (thus no access to install packages in the single-user server environment)
- have multi-tenant deployments that is not configured for untrusted users (as per documented on JupyterHub https://jupyterhub.readthedocs.io/en/5.2.1/explanation/websecurity.html)
- have the (default) PyPI Extension Manager enabled&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Impact&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An authenticated attacker - such as a student in a shared JupyterHub environment or a user in a multi-tenant JupyterLab deployment - can escalate their privileges. This might allow for data exfiltration, lateral movement within the network, and persistent compromise of the server infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Patches&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;JupyterLab [`v4.5.7`](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/releases/tag/v4.5.7) contains the patch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users of applications that depend on JupyterLab, such as Notebook v7+, should update `jupyterlab` package too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;### Workarounds&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Switch to read-only extension manager by adding the following command line option:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;```bash
--LabApp.extension_manager=readonly
```&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;or the following traitlet:&lt;/p&gt;
