  - jupyterlab is an extensible environment for interactive and reproducible computing, based on the Jupyter
    Notebook Architecture. From 4.5.0 until 4.5.10 and 4.6.2, in jupyterlab/extensions/manager.py and
    jupyterlab/extensions/pypi.py, JupyterLab's PyPI extension manager enforces blocked_extensions_uris by
    comparing requested install names to blocklist entries with custom normalization that is weaker than PyPI
    package-name canonicalization. An authenticated user can request a PyPI-equivalent spelling such as
    JupyterLab.Git for a blocklisted package such as jupyterlab-git, and JupyterLab accepts the install
    request even though pip resolves the variant to the same package. Security impact requires an allowlist or
    blocklist intended to restrict package installation, the PyPI Extension Manager, and kernels and terminals
    that are disabled or delegated to remote hosts. The bypass lets an authenticated user install a prohibited
    extension, defeat integrity restrictions, and affect availability without gaining new read access. This
    issue is fixed in versions 4.5.10 and 4.6.2. (CVE-2026-73416)
