Report: CVE-2026-40110 - jupyter-server CORS origin validation bypass via unanchored regex in allow_origi

CVE ID :CVE-2026-40110 Published : May 5, 2026, 9:29 p.m. | 57 minutes ago Description :Jupyter Server is the backend for Jupyter web applications. In versions 2.17.0 and earlier, the Origin header validation uses Python's re.match() to check incoming origins against the allow_origin_pat configuration value. Because re.match() only anchors at the start of the string and does not require a full match, a pattern intended to match only a trusted domain (e.g., trusted.example.com) will also match any origin that begins with that domain followed by additional characters (e.g., trusted.example.com.evil.com). An attacker who controls such a domain can bypass the CORS origin restriction and make cross-origin requests to the Jupyter Server API from an untrusted site. This issue has been fixed in version 2.18.0. Severity: 0.0 | NA Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more...
