When JupyterHub is used with FirstUseAuthenticator, a vulnerability in versions prior to 1.0.0 allows unauthorized access to any user's account if `create_users=True` and the username is known or guessed. One may upgrade to version 1.0.0 or apply a patch manually to mitigate the vulnerability. For those who cannot upgrade, there is no complete workaround, but a partial mitigation exists. One can disable user creation with `c.FirstUseAuthenticator.create_users = False`, which will only allow login with fully normalized usernames for already existing users prior to jupyterhub-firstuserauthenticator 1.0.0. If any users have never logged in with their normalized username (i.e. lowercase), they will still be vulnerable until a patch or upgrade occurs." } ] }, "impact": { "cvss": { "attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "NONE", "baseScore": 9.1, "baseSeverity": "CRITICAL", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N", "version": "3.1" } }, "problemtype": { "problemtype_data": [ { "description": [ { "lang": "eng", "value": "CWE-284: Improper Access Control" } ] } ] }, "references": { "reference_data": [ { "name": "https://github.com/jupyterhub/firstuseauthenticator/security/advisories/GHSA-5xvc-vgmp-jgc3", "refsource": "CONFIRM", "url": "https://github.com/jupyterhub/firstuseauthenticator/security/advisories/GHSA-5xvc-vgmp-jgc3" }, { "name": "https://github.com/jupyterhub/firstuseauthenticator/pull/38", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/jupyterhub/firstuseauthenticator/pull/38" }, { "name": "https://github.com/jupyterhub/firstuseauthenticator/pull/38.patch", "refsource": "MISC", "url": "https://github.com/jupyterhub/firstuseauthenticator/pull/38.patch" } ] }, "source": { "advisory": "GHSA-5xvc-vgmp-jgc3", "discovery": "UNKNOWN" } }
