SCA: security update for jupyterlab, notebook (GHSA-mqcg-5x36-vfcg)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441310

Description

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

- jupyterlab is an extensible environment for interactive and reproducible computing, based on the Jupyter
Notebook Architecture. Prior to 4.5.7, JupyterLab's HTML sanitizer allowlists data-commandlinker-command
and data-commandlinker-args on button elements, while CommandLinker listens for all click events on
document.body and executes the named command without checking whether the element came from trusted
JupyterLab UI. A notebook with a pre-saved HTML cell output containing a deceptive button can trigger
arbitrary JupyterLab commands - including arbitrary code execution - on a single user click, without any
code being submitted for execution by the user. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.5.7. (CVE-2026-42557)

Solution

Update the jupyterlab library and its related packages to version 4.5.7 or later.
