SCA: security update for jupyter-server (GHSA-q874-g24w-4q9g)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 417988

Description

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

 - Jupyter Server provides the backend (i.e. the core services, APIs, and REST endpoints) for Jupyter web
 applications like Jupyter Notebook. Prior to version 1.17.1, if notebook server is started with a value of
 `root_dir` that contains the starting user's home directory, then the underlying REST API can be used to
 leak the access token assigned at start time by guessing/brute forcing the PID of the jupyter server.
 While this requires an authenticated user session, this URL can be used from a cross-site scripting
 payload or from a hooked or otherwise compromised browser to leak this access token to a malicious third
 party. This token can be used along with the REST API to interact with Jupyter services/notebooks such as
 modifying or overwriting critical files, such as .bashrc or .ssh/authorized_keys, allowing a malicious
 user to read potentially sensitive data and possibly gain control of the impacted system. This issue is
 patched in version 1.17.1. (CVE-2022-29241)
