Overview

jupyter-enterprise-gateway is an A web server for spawning and communicating with remote Jupyter kernels

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Behavior Order: Validate Before Canonicalize via improper validation of the KERNEL_UID and KERNEL_GID environment variables. An attacker can gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code as the root user within the container by supplying specially crafted values containing whitespace to bypass prohibited ID checks. This may allow further compromise of the underlying worker node and potentially the entire Kubernetes cluster through actions such as mounting host volumes and modifying system files.
