Description
JupyterHub through 6.0.1 contains an identifier collision vulnerability that allows authenticated users to overwrite another user's named-server OAuth client by registering a hyphenated username. Attackers holding a name like alice-prod can overwrite the client for alice's server prod, breaking OAuth login and revoking tokens by stopping their own server.

AI Analysis

Impact

JupyterHub through 6.0.1 has a flaw permitting an authenticated user to register a hyphenated username that collides with an existing user's named‑server OAuth client ID, allowing the attacker to overwrite that client. This results in the targeted user's OAuth login failing and any existing tokens being revoked when the attacker stops the server. The weakness corresponds to CWE‑694, which involves improper handling of identifiers.

Affected Systems

All releases of JupyterHub up to and including version 6.0.1 are vulnerable. The flaw is present in the default OAuth implementation and applies to any deployment allowing user‑supplied named‑server identifiers.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 2.3 indicates a low severity overall and the EPSS score is not available, implying no data on exploitation likelihood. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Based on the description, it is inferred that the attack requires authenticated access to a JupyterHub instance and cannot be exploited remotely over the network. The overall risk is low, but the potential to disrupt authentication for affected users warrants prompt remediation.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade JupyterHub to 6.0.2 or later to eliminate the client‑ID collision flaw.
  • Implement server‑side validation to reject or escape hyphens in usernames or named‑server identifiers, preventing future ID collisions.
  • Audit existing OAuth client configurations for each named‑server and restore any that have been overwritten, then monitor logs for suspicious client re‑registrations.
