SCA: security update for jupyter-server (GHSA-fcw5-x6j4-ccmp)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 443494

Description

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

 - Jupyter Server is the backend for Jupyter web applications. Prior to 2.20, the nbconvert HTTP handlers in
 jupyter_server render user-authored notebook HTML under the Jupyter origin without a sandbox directive in
 their Content-Security-Policy. Combined with nbconvert.HTMLExporter's default non-sanitizing behavior, a
 notebook carrying an HTML payload in a display_data output triggers stored XSS with cookie access, full
 /api/* authority, and kernel RCE. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.20. (CVE-2026-44727)

Solution

Update the jupyter-server library and its related packages to version 2.20.0 or later.
