  - The Jupyter Server provides the backend (i.e. the core services, APIs, and REST endpoints) for Jupyter web
    applications like Jupyter notebook, JupyterLab, and Voila. In Jupyter Server before version 1.1.1, an open
    redirect vulnerability could cause the jupyter server to redirect the browser to a different malicious
    website. All jupyter servers running without a base_url prefix are technically affected, however, these
    maliciously crafted links can only be reasonably made for known jupyter server hosts. A link to your
    jupyter server may *appear* safe, but ultimately redirect to a spoofed server on the public internet. This
    same vulnerability was patched in upstream notebook v5.7.8. This is fixed in jupyter_server 1.1.1. If
    upgrade is not available, a workaround can be to run your server on a url prefix: jupyter server
    --ServerApp.base_url=/jupyter/. (CVE-2020-26275)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
