# CX-2020-4291

[Disclosed vulnerabilities](https://checkmarx.com/zero/vulnerabilities/)

Fixed: Dec 17, 2020

CVE-2020-26275  **Published:** Dec 17, 2020

CWE-601 CWE-601 URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')  6.1 Medium Severity open redirect python

YN Yaniv Nizry  Reported by Checkmarx Zero

Details Overview

## Summary

The Jupyter Server provides the backend (i.e. the core services, APIs, and REST endpoints) for Jupyter web applications like Jupyter notebook, JupyterLab, and Voila. Affected versions of Jupyter Server are vulnerable to open redirect vulnerability. All jupyter servers running without a base\_url prefix are technically affected, however, these maliciously crafted links can only be reasonably made for known jupyter server hosts.

## Product

Jupyter Server before version 1.1.1

## Impact

A link to a jupyter server may appear safe, but ultimately redirect to a malicious site.

## Steps to reproduce

1. Run a jupyter server on port 1111
2. Navigate to `http://localhost:1111/login?next=//example.com`

### Expected result:

`https://example.com` will load.

## Remediation

Use on of the two options:

1. Update jupyter\_server package to 1.1.1 or above.
2. Run your server on a url prefix: “jupyter server –ServerApp.base\_url=/jupyter/”.
