Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Incorrect authorization (CVE-ID: N/A)

CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization

CVSSv4: 2.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows an administrator to cause sharing permissions to be applied to an unintended user.

The vulnerability exists due to JupyterHub sharing scopes not following user renames in deployments with user-initiated sharing enabled, which is disabled by default. An administrator can rename a user while a share is granted and create another user with the original name, causing the new account to receive unintended sharing permissions.
