CVE-2026-40110
Public on
Last Modified:
Description
A flaw was found in Jupyter Server. The Origin header validation, which uses Python's re.match() function, does not correctly validate incoming origins against allowed patterns. This allows a remote attacker to bypass Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restrictions by crafting a malicious domain that partially matches a trusted one. Consequently, the attacker can make unauthorized cross-origin requests to the Jupyter Server API from an untrusted site, potentially leading to sensitive information disclosure or other unauthorized actions.
Mitigation
Administrators should review and update the `allow_origin_pat` configuration in Jupyter Server to use a more precise regular expression. Ensure the pattern explicitly anchors to the end of the string (e.g., by adding `$` to the end of the regex) to prevent partial domain matches. After modifying the configuration, the Jupyter Server service must be restarted for the changes to take effect.

Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authorities (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications ).

My product is listed as "Under investigation" or "Affected", when will Red Hat release a fix for this vulnerability?
- "Under investigation" doesn't necessarily mean that the product is affected by this vulnerability. It only means that our Analysis Team is still working on determining whether the product is affected and how it is affected.
- "Affected" means that our Analysis Team has determined that this product is affected by this vulnerability and might release a fix to address this in the near future.
What can I do if my product is listed as "Will not fix"?
Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
- Upgrade to a supported product version that includes a fix for this vulnerability (recommended).
- Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
- Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.
What can I do if my product is listed as "Fix deferred"?
Available options depend mostly on the Impact of the vulnerability and the current Life Cycle phase of your product. Overall, you have the following options:
- Apply a mitigation (if one exists).
- Open a This content is not included.support case to request a prioritization of releasing a fix for this vulnerability.
- Red Hat Engineering focuses on addressing high-priority issues based on their complexity or limited lifecycle support. Therefore, lower-priority issues will not receive immediate fixes.
What is a mitigation?
I have a Red Hat product but it is not in the above list, is it affected?
Why is my security scanner reporting my product as vulnerable to this vulnerability even though my product version is fixed or not affected?
My product is listed as "Out of Support Scope". What does this mean?
