"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.

  - JupyterLab versions >=4.6.0,<=4.6.1 and <=4.5.9 contain an allowlist/blocklist enforcement gap in
    PyPIExtensionManager.install(). A missing 'await' caused the is_install_allowed coroutine to never
    execute, so the extension allowlist/blocklist check was not enforced for direct callers of install(). The
    stock JupyterLab HTTP API and Extension Manager UI are not affected, as they perform a separate, correctly
    awaited check. The issue affects only deployments where a custom extension or downstream integration
    imports PyPIExtensionManager and calls install() directly with a package name influenced by untrusted
    input, an allowlist/blocklist is configured, the PyPI Extension Manager is enabled, and kernels and
    terminals are disabled or delegated to remote hosts. Fixed in JupyterLab 4.6.2 and 4.5.10.
