Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - jupyter-server is the backend for Jupyter web applications. Improper cross-site credential checks on

 files via "Open image in new tab". This issue has been addressed in commit `87a49272728` which has been
