There is no fixed version for Debian:11 jupyter-server.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jupyter-server package and not the jupyter-server package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

jupyter-server is the backend for Jupyter web applications. Improper cross-site credential checks on /files/ URLs could allow exposure of certain file contents, or accessing files when opening untrusted files via "Open image in new tab". This issue has been addressed in commit 87a49272728 which has been included in release 2.7.2. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may use the lower performance --ContentsManager.files_handler_class=jupyter_server.files.handlers.FilesHandler, which implements the correct checks.
