CVE-2026-44181

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Jupyter Enterprise Gateway launches remote Jupyter Notebook kernels across distributed clusters like Apache Spark, Kubernetes, and Docker Swarm. In versions 2.0.0rc2 and above, prior to 3.3.0, the environment variables (KERNEL_XXX) used during the rendering of the Kubernetes manifest are vulnerable to Server Side Template Injection (SSTI). By including Jinja2 template expressions it is possible to execution Python code and OS Commands in the Enterprise Gateway service. The code can use or steal the Kubernetes service account token, which can steal Kubernetes secrets and be used to fully compromise the Kubernetes cluster by scheduling a privileged pod or a pod with a hostPath volume mount. This issue has been fixed in version 3.3.0.

En las versiones 2.0.0rc2 y superiores, anteriores a la 3.3.0, las variables de entorno (KERNEL_XXX) utilizadas durante la renderización del manifiesto de Kubernetes son vulnerables a la Inyección de Plantilla del Lado del Servidor (SSTI). Al incluir expresiones de plantilla Jinja2, es posible ejecutar código Python y comandos del sistema operativo en el servicio Enterprise Gateway. El código puede usar o robar el token de cuenta de servicio de Kubernetes, lo que puede robar secretos de Kubernetes y ser utilizado para comprometer completamente el clúster de Kubernetes programando un pod privilegiado o un pod con un montaje de volumen hostPath. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 3.3.0."
