SCA: security update for jupyterhub (GHSA-9x4q-3gxw-849f)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 413537
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- JupyterHub is software that allows one to create a multi-user server for Jupyter notebooks. Prior to
versions 4.1.6 and 5.1.0, if a user is granted the `admin:users` scope, they may escalate their own
privileges by making themselves a full admin user. The impact is relatively small in that `admin:users` is
already an extremely privileged scope only granted to trusted users. In effect, `admin:users` is
equivalent to `admin=True`, which is not intended. Note that the change here only prevents escalation to
the built-in JupyterHub admin role that has unrestricted permissions. It does not prevent users with e.g.
`groups` permissions from granting themselves or other users permissions via group membership, which is
intentional. Versions 4.1.6 and 5.1.0 fix this issue. (CVE-2024-41942)
