Overview

notebook is a web-based notebook environment for interactive computing.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks due to improper validation of the CSRF token. A malicious user may be able to spawn new kernels and create empty, untitled files on the user's notebook server.

Note: This affects users of Firefox or Microsoft (IE, Edge) browsers, and any other browsers that do not set the Origin header on cross-site forms. WebKit and Blink based browsers like Safari and Chrome are not affected.
