How to fix?

Upgrade notebook to version 5.4.1 or higher.

Overview

notebook is a web application that allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations, and explanatory text.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution. A maliciously forged notebook file can bypass sanitization to execute JavaScript in the notebook context. Specifically, invalid HTML is 'fixed' by jQuery after sanitization, making it dangerous.
