aliases:

- GHSA-5mrq-x3x5-8v8f
details: Jupyter Server is the backend for Jupyter web applications. In versions 2.17.0
  and earlier, the secret used to sign authentication cookies is persisted to a static
  file at ~/.local/share/jupyter/runtime/jupyter_cookie_secret and is never rotated
  when a user changes their password. After a password reset and server restart, any
  previously issued authentication cookie remains cryptographically valid because
  the signing key has not changed. An attacker who has captured a session cookie through
  any means retains full authenticated access to the server regardless of subsequent
  password changes. This affects deployments using password-based authentication,
  particularly shared or public-facing servers where credential rotation is expected
  to revoke existing sessions. This issue has been fixed in version 2.18.0.
