SCA: security update for jupyter-server-proxy (GHSA-w3vc-fx9p-wp4v)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 419668

Description

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

- Jupyter Server Proxy allows users to run arbitrary external processes alongside their Jupyter notebook
servers and provides authenticated web access. Prior to versions 3.2.3 and 4.1.1, Jupyter Server Proxy did
not check user authentication appropriately when proxying websockets, allowing unauthenticated access to
anyone who had network access to the Jupyter server endpoint. This vulnerability can allow unauthenticated
remote access to any websocket endpoint set up to be accessible via Jupyter Server Proxy. In many cases,
this leads to remote unauthenticated arbitrary code execution, due to how affected instances use
websockets. The websocket endpoints exposed by `jupyter_server` itself is not affected. Projects that do
not rely on websockets are also not affected. Versions 3.2.3 and 4.1.1 contain a fix for this issue.
