"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- JupyterLab Desktop is the cross-platform desktop application for JupyterLab. Prior to 4.6.2-1, JupyterLab
Desktop for macOS declared the com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables entitlement,
allowing the dynamic linker to honor DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES despite the hardened runtime. An attacker who
can already execute code as the current user can load an arbitrary dynamic library into the JupyterLab
Desktop process and inherit TCC permissions previously granted to the application, including access to
protected Documents, Desktop, or Downloads folders without another macOS prompt. Exploitation requires
existing local code execution and prior TCC grants; it does not provide initial or remote code execution.
Windows and Linux are not affected. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.6.2-1. (CVE-2025-54991)
Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
