Summary

CVE-2024-22891 is a critical-severity Open Redirect (CWE-601) vulnerability in Nteract Nteract. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 23% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) and AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

Nteract version 0.28.0 contains a remote code execution vulnerability that can be triggered through a specially crafted Markdown link. The flaw is tracked as CVE-2024-22891 with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 and is associated with CWE-601. The affected component is the Markdown rendering and link-handling logic within the desktop notebook application.

An unauthenticated attacker can supply a malicious Markdown document containing a crafted link. When the file is opened in Nteract, the vulnerability allows arbitrary code execution on the victim system without requiring user interaction beyond viewing the document, resulting in full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.

Public proof-of-concept code demonstrating the issue has been published on GitHub. The current EPSS score stands at 0.3943 with an identical recorded peak, indicating sustained exploitation interest since disclosure. No official vendor advisory or patch information is referenced in the available sources.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly checks and rejects untrusted redirect targets before they are used in a response.

AC-4 Information Flow Enforcement partial match

Information flow enforcement can restrict redirects to only approved/trusted destinations, stopping untrusted user-supplied URLs from being followed.
