Summary

CVE-2023-49080 is a low-severity Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information (CWE-209) vulnerability in Jupyter Jupyter Server. Its CVSS base score is 3.5 (Low).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Protocol or Service Impersonation (T1001.003); ranked in the top 43% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Vulnerability Data

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. Unhandled errors in API requests coming from an authenticated user include traceback information, which can include…

path information. There is no known mechanism by which to trigger these errors without authentication, so the paths revealed are not considered particularly sensitive, given that the requesting user has arbitrary execution permissions already in the same environment. A fix has been introduced in commit `0056c3aa52` which no longer includes traceback information in JSON error responses. For compatibility, the traceback field is present, but always empty. This commit has been included in version 2.11.2. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Techniques

T1001.003 Protocol or Service Impersonation Command And Control
Adversaries may impersonate legitimate protocols or web service traffic to disguise command and control activity and thwart analysis efforts.
T1003.002 Security Account Manager Credential Access
Adversaries may attempt to extract credential material from the Security Account Manager (SAM) database either through in-memory techniques or through the Windows Registry where the SAM database is stored.
T1007 System Service Discovery Discovery
Adversaries may try to gather information about registered local system services.
T1008 Fallback Channels Command And Control
Adversaries may use fallback or alternate communication channels if the primary channel is compromised or inaccessible in order to maintain reliable command and control and to avoid data transfer thresholds.
T1012 Query Registry Discovery
Adversaries may interact with the Windows Registry to gather information about the system, configuration, and installed software.
T1016.002 Wi-Fi Discovery Discovery
Adversaries may search for information about Wi-Fi networks, such as network names and passwords, on compromised systems.

Likely Mitigating Controls AI

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.

addresses: CWE-209

Detects error messages that leak sensitive information as evidence of disclosure.

addresses: CWE-209

The control directly mitigates generation of error messages containing sensitive authentication details by requiring obscured feedback instead of verbose responses.

addresses: CWE-209

Misdirection allows generation of misleading error messages that withhold or falsify sensitive details.

addresses: CWE-209

Explicitly requires error messages to avoid including sensitive or exploitable details while still supporting corrective action.

addresses: CWE-209

Validation ensures error messages contain only expected, non-sensitive content and blocks leakage via verbose errors.

addresses: CWE-209

Fail-safe procedures can be defined to suppress or sanitize error output, reducing generation of messages that contain sensitive information.
