Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Jupyter notebook Changelog :

5.7.6 contains a security fix for a cross-site inclusion (XSSI) vulnerability, where files at a known URL could be included in a page from an unauthorized website if the user is logged into a Jupyter server. The fix involves setting the X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff header, and applying CSRF checks previously on all non-GET API requests to GET requests to API endpoints and the /files/ endpoint.

The attacking page is able to access some contents of files when using Internet Explorer through script errors, but this has not been demonstrated with other browsers. A CVE has been requested for this vulnerability.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
