Jupyterlab Python Library 4.1.x < 4.5.10 / 4.6.x < 4.6.2 (CVE-2026-73627)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 342598

Synopsis

A Python library installed on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

jupyterlab is an extensible environment for interactive and reproducible computing, based on the Jupyter Notebook Architecture. The detected version of the JupyterLab Python package is 4.1.x prior to 4.5.10, or 4.6.x prior to 4.6.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability:

- JupyterLab contains a plugin manager lock-rule enforcement bypass. Two server-side enforcement gaps allow an authenticated user to circumvent administrator lock rules by making direct requests to the /lab/api/plugins endpoint, enabling or disabling plugins that were locked, including child plugins of multi-plugin extensions and plugins locked via the 'lock all' mechanism. (CVE-2026-73627)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Jupyterlab version 4.5.10, 4.6.2 or later.
