Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-09-06 12:37 – Updated: 2026-09-06 12:37

Title

nbviewer through 1.0.1 Path Traversal via LocalFileHandler

Summary

nbviewer through 1.0.1 contains a path traversal vulnerability in LocalFileHandler.can_show() that uses string-prefix comparison instead of proper path validation. Attackers can read files from sibling directories outside the configured root by requesting paths that share the root as a textual prefix, disclosing unintended notebooks and credentials.

Severity

8.2 (High)
