Summary
Jupyter Server is the backend for Jupyter web applications. Prior to 2.20, 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. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.20.
A flaw was found in Jupyter Server. A remote attacker could exploit this to gain cookie access, full API authority, and achieve kernel Remote Code Execution (RCE).
Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 9 (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-79.
Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Migration Toolkit for Applications 8.2; Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.3; Red Hat OpenShift AI 3.4. Red Hat lists Red Hat OpenShift AI (RHOAI) as not affected.
Red Hat fixing advisory: RHSA-2026:43038, RHSA-2026:73987, RHSA-2026:60520.
Is CVE-2026-44727 exploited?
No exploitation is reported in the sources VulniPulse tracks: CVE-2026-44727 is not in the CISA KEV catalog (checked ) and this advisory does not report exploitation. That is not proof the vulnerability cannot be exploited.
