When JupyterHub is used with FirstUseAuthenticator, the vulnerability allows unauthorized access to any user’s account if create_users=True
and the username is known or guessed.
Upgrade to jupyterhub-firstuseauthenticator to 1.0, or apply patch https://github.com/jupyterhub/firstuseauthenticator/pull/38.patch
If you cannot upgrade, there is no complete workaround, but it can be mitigated.
If you cannot upgrade yet, you can disable user creation with c.FirstUseAuthenticator.create_users = False
, which will only allow login with fully normalized usernames for already existing users prior to jupyterhub-firstuserauthenticator 1.0. If any users have never logged in with their normalized username (i.e. lowercase), they will still be vulnerable until you can patch or upgrade.
