CVE-2026-44727NVD

Vulnerability Summary

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.

### Impact

An authenticated victim who navigates to `/nbconvert/html/<path>` containing attacker-authored output can have their token exfiltrated to another domain because it is executed in the Jupyter origin.

### Patches

Fixed in v2.20.0, commit [6cbee8d](https://github.com/jupyter-server/jupyter_server/commit/6cbee8d65e71abac851c4492fea987ad080580bd)


### Workarounds

For deployments where editing the installed jupyter_server is impractical (containerized builds, read-only images), adding this to jupyter_server_config.py has the same effect as the patch above without touching source files:

```
import jupyter_server.nbconvert.handlers as _nb

def _csp(self):
return super(type(self), self).content_security_policy + "; sandbox allow-scripts"

_nb.NbconvertFileHandler.content_security_policy = property(_csp)
_nb.NbconvertPostHandler.content_security_policy = property(_csp)
```
