    There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-39968)

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - jupyter-server is the backend for Jupyter web applications. Open Redirect Vulnerability. Maliciously
    crafted login links to known Jupyter Servers can cause successful login or an already logged-in session to
    be redirected to arbitrary sites, which should be restricted to Jupyter Server-served URLs. This issue has
    been addressed in commit `29036259` which is included in release 2.7.2. Users are advised to upgrade.
    There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2023-39968)

  - jupyter-server is the backend for Jupyter web applications. Improper cross-site credential checks on
    `/files/` URLs could allow exposure of certain file contents, or accessing files when opening untrusted
    files via "Open image in new tab". This issue has been addressed in commit `87a49272728` which has been
    included in release `2.7.2`. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may use the lower
    performance `--ContentsManager.files_handler_class=jupyter_server.files.handlers.FilesHandler`, which
    implements the correct checks. (CVE-2023-40170)
