SCA: security update for nbdime, nbdime-jupyterlab (GHSA-p6rw-44q7-3fw4)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417349

Description

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

 - nbdime provides tools for diffing and merging of Jupyter Notebooks. In affected versions a stored cross-
 site scripting (XSS) issue exists within the Jupyter-owned nbdime project. It appears that when reading
 the file name and path from disk, the extension does not sanitize the string it constructs before
 returning it to be displayed. The diffNotebookCheckpoint function within nbdime causes this issue. When
 attempting to display the name of the local notebook (diffNotebookCheckpoint), nbdime appears to simply
 append .ipynb to the name of the input file. The NbdimeWidget is then created, and the base string is
 passed through to the request API function. From there, the frontend simply renders the HTML tag and
 anything along with it. Users are advised to patch to the most recent version of the affected product.
 (CVE-2021-41134)
